This picture was taken this spring three miles up the Chlckamus river. The boys sre all members of the "Blue Label Fishing Club" and the trout (all Dollies) were taken the first day out, on gold devon minnows. This is what I call high lite, the real, unadulterated sport that Isaae Walton made famous. How much more beneficial: It is for a bunch oi unionists to spend their surplus cash out ln the wilds fishing or hunting than to stay ln town joy riding and getting stewed'up. Tou awaken ln the morning without that Colorado Mature taste In your mouth, and your bead does not feel out of proportion. After the tripvls over snd you are broke financially, but not physically, you never kick yourself and talk' to yourself like the chap does who never leaves the clustered lights. These fishing trips sr thaclear thing. These Ashing trips are thedear thing, realisation and months of fond remembrance, i be only fault Is that they don't come oftener. If we didn't belong to a labor union lt'S doubtful lt they would come at all. The best time to fiish the Chlckamus Is early spring and late fall. If you are hot lucky Pete will sell you Dollies at $1 apiece. . ete flshs tor a living ant Is very accommodating and hates to-see the boys go back with empty baskets. Should any of you get the Inspiration and go up there tell the stage driver you are a red and he'll give you sii the knowledge he knows and forty .kinds of Socialist papers to read while ln camp.
