423 Emerald Lake 9340 ft.
Tulare Co, California.
This morning before
breakfast I went fishing in
Emerald Lake. Caught 2 fish.
There are a good many fish
in the lake and some
large ones (16" or 18") but
there is so much food
for them that they will
not look at a hook. Mr.
Dixon found a Thousand
Schilder nest near the
lake containing 4 eggs (fresh)
It was built in a grassy
dedge of a rock bed two
feet off the ground. He
later found a Kuma nest
in a clump of sedge near
the same locality.
The remainder of the
morning and for afternoon
was spent in skinning. The
last afternoon (4:00) I went fishing
over to Pine Lake. I was
able to catch the limit of
10 fish without much difficulty.
