Portland, Ore. What promises to
be the prize fish story of the fall sea
son comes from Gresham, where sal

the riffles that they trip anglers who
are wading In the shallow places, and
In some cases the men have been
thrown off their feet by the swarming
fish. It is an easy matter, under such
circumstances, to catch large num
bers of the finny rascal and the
creels of the Gresham sports are
bulging with salmon trout.
