Anglers' Paradise Is Near Klamath Falls roar Kile Lake and Creek Reported to Be Teeming With Trout Planted There Three Years Ago. Klamath Falls, Or., June 26. Does It pay to restock streams and lakes with trout? Decidedly so, if the re sults attained at Four Mile lake and Four Mile creek are to be accepted as a criterion. Four Mile lake is In the hills to the west of Upper Klamath lake. For years It has been troutless. Three years ago 6000 rainbow fingerlings from the hatchery on Spencer creek were liberated In the lake, and It was j closed to fishing. Today the results of fishing there are almost unbelievable. Both lake and creek are alive with fisht and instead of looking like an Isolated mountain lake, Four Mile resembles the trout I pools at the Bonneville hatchery at I feeding time.
