he has been using with such good luck this season the browns were caught about six in the morning speaking of brown trout last year a fish estimated to weigh to 8 lbs was found dead on a sand bar on the credit at inglewood his mouth and throat were full of hooks starvation was the cause of death a terrible ending for such a gallant flab we hear that harry goldham and charlie wlllson have had some
