A FISHING SAGA
This week we have a fish — ’
ing story concerning Mr. C. 1
£. Carlson of Homer.
It seems that Mr. Carlson j
was trout fishing at one of
the lakes along the highway \
the other day and doing just |
fine for himself until he
happened to glance across the
water and there was a big
brown bear standing up on bis;
hind legs watching him.
Mr. Carlson couldn’t de- .
cide if the bear had a fish
ing pole or not, but he cer~ '
tainly was taking lessons.
Not having any desire to •
converse with the bear,
should he decide to come
and brag on the size of bis
fish, Mr. Carlson pulled up
his hip boots and headed
toward the shelter of some
trees. Apparently the bear ,
was out for some learning
because when Mr. Carlson
looked back the bear was go- j
ing almost as fast as he was,
in the opposite direction.
We don’t know if the bear !
had any fish to leave behind,'
but Mr. Carlson had to wade j
back out through the mus - j
keg to get the ones he forgot,
in the excitement.
