34 General Account. 64
seven young about th size of
th one I found dead yesterday.
These young were so small
that they were unable to
swim some of the swifter
rapids and so had to
get out and walk around.
There were three or more
Light Hawks feeding up
and down the River as
I was fishing on the Fern.
Fishing this evening was
good, I caught 10 th
largest of which was
15" long and weighed 12 lb.
The fish caught in th
Big Arroyo were all
small 7" or less.
The grass in the meadow
is excellent it is 8 or
more inches high and
is well headed out even
the previous grazing of th
stock had not effected th
growth to any large degree.
The water was clear until
about 9:00 A.M. when it began
to cloud up. A brief rain
in the evening about 5:00 P.M.
