Fishing in th? Morris Hole, w ith
Judge H ans Nelson in the boat.
Mrs. Rice first brought in. a fte r
e seem ingly endless tug, a 55
pound fish. T here was an audience
of considerable proportions draw n
up along th e nearby up-river road,
logging trucks, even, stopping and
the drivers cheering h er on. But
the fish had been in the w ater for
some tim e, v is quite black, and
Mrs- Rice tu rn ed it loose so it
could proceed to lay eggs for the
re-stocking of the stream and
la te r catches.
F ro m then on, Mrs. Rice took.
respectively, a 16-pounder; a 24*a
pounder; and called it a day when
she landed a 3-pound jack salmon,
s h e says the lure w as herring
fillets.
Mrs. Rice has hauled her boat
out and happily finished her sal-
mon fishing for 1955.
