SAYS THE TROUT ARE
EDUCATED; NO BITES
ON HOLIDAYS
The Eagle
Vernojiia, Oregon
Dear Sirs:
Have just read your article in
current issue of the Eagle.
In view of the fact that you are
200 miles from the writer you feel
pretty safe in taking a sling at the
McKenzie river trout.
You state
the trout in this river don’t know
how to bite—you are in error
to the fact that these McKenzie
river trout know when to bite.
These trout are educated.
They
absolutely refuse to smack a fly on
July 3 and 4, and seldom on Sun
days. They also know the road is
paved and river well supplied with
telephones and OCC camp grounds.
Our proof of this accounts for the
Ham-An’ for dinner for the gang.
When Les, Red and Ross learn to
live right and learn to catch ’em
in Rock creek, tell them to come
up on the McKenzie again and the
big ones will call their bluff.
Bring Seth Sedgley from Scho
field and we’ll go so far as to
leave out tKe ham and chickens.
Well', sometimes, according to Fri
day Fishing Bulletin, our Deschutes,
McKenzie and Rock creeks are full
of big ones “until you get there.”
Anyhow it’s fun to “try and get
’em,” when you can get ’em oc
casionally.
Yours for more steelhead,
C. S. Hoffman
DUNCAN REALLY
GETS TROUT; EAGLE
IS TERRIBLY MISLED
Les Skuzie and Red Ranes,
fearful lest they be chided for
their lack of trout on a recent
trip to the McKenzie as guests
of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Hoffman,
told The Eagle that Ross Dun
can, in the same party, failed
to click . . . saying that he
got two in the nearly three
days of vacationing. Ross, so
the truth of the story tells
this week, caught many trout,
bringing home seven or eight
of more than one-pound in size, '
as well as catching enough,
with some help, to feed the en
tire 14 one meal. It was Red
and Les, ordinarily truthful
in business dealing, who told
the white lies concerning their
angling partner.
And
Mrs.
Duncan caught some, too.

The story deals with Marcia, who
lives alone in a large house over
looking the sea in an exclusive sum
mer colony; and with Arthur, her
brother, and his ex-wife, Juliette;
whose exhorbitant alimony demands
are ruining him financially as well
as jeopardizing his happiness with
Mary Lou his second wife.
How Juliette’s murdered body is
found in a shallow grave, and fear,
suspicion and other murders follow,
involving not only Marcia and Art
hur; but half the summer colony as
well, is told as the story unfolds and
Juliette’s past comes to light bit by
