Fish Being Scooped From
Stream by Bucketful.
FISHERS AT TROUTDALE

As if by masrlc over night, the crystal-clear
Sandy has been converted
into a living river of silver and its
newly-acquired wealth covers the bot
lom of many a rowboat anchored in
tho stream and fills sack after sack
hauled away toward Portland.
Must look at the fish look at "em!"
is the cry that Roes up from passing
automobiles as their occupants graze
upon the animated stream. Below the
S.inriy bridge at Troutdale yesterday
hundreds of folk were busy with dip
nets, crawfish nets, bird canes, buck
ets, sacks and anything that might
halt the course of the smelt that
swarm the waters.
Karly yesterday the great wave of
fish entered the mouth of the Sandy
r.nd began the annual upward course
to the spawning grounds. All day
the river was filled for perhaps five
miles up and millions of the silver
rwimmers were still coming.
Smelt Are Scooped Out.
Almost at daybreak fishermen were
perched on rocks and in rowboats
Khoving their long-handled scoops
Into, the midst of the vast school.
Two' wagonloads of the smelt brought
to Portland early in the day by one
local fish market had been cleaned
up before 5 o'clock last night. Whole
families came out to assist and many
Kroups from Portland sent curious
motorists away with bucketfuls as
gifts.
Today probably will be the heaviest
of. the run and. with sunny weather,
the banks of the Sandy undoubtedly
will be crowded with picnickers out
after a fish supply for the neighbor
hood. A fine-mesh net is all the
equipment necessary, but if you are
mure ambitious a pair of high rubber
buotK will come in handy. ,
,Knn Keported Extra Heavy. '
Old-timers around Troutdale say
the frrun is heavier than usual this
yeati, although it is much later. Last
year the smelt came in for ten days,
but ; the first three or four are re
warded as the best. Kxperts on the
subject believe the fish have estab
lished a direct route to the Sandy,
as this run came straight through
fron? the ocean without entering the
Cowlitz or other branches of the Co
lumbia. A' large number of Portlanders
fished at the bridge yesterday and
even sightseeing buses stopped
there. Few spectators have come
i-.way without a load of the delicacy.
TUe annual run is one of the mar
vels: of the vicinity. Bach spring
the smelt return to their home
btream, lay their eggs and die.'
