Article discussing trout fishing
Averill, Edgar F., 1881-1955
Best trout stream and trout surveys
Two manuscripts are featured in this document. The first discusses how the Deschutes River is an ideal place for trout, not only for sport but for the fish to inhabit. The river benefits from the lack of silt in the water and protection from dumping pollutants. Also due to a lack of a paved road, access is limited to the area. The second manuscript discusses the importance of conducting surveys that determine what makes a place suitable for a fish to inhabit. Factors such as what are the food sources and water temperature are to be considered. The writer makes the point that one cannot gauge from mere visual observation the amount of fish in any given stream. To truly determine the population, in depth surveys must be done.

Paved highways and good trout stream do not mix
This manuscript rallies against building paved roads along streams because this creates easy access and an opening to abuse the resources found in the stream. This document focuses mainly on overfishing in regards to the trout population. Later in the document, the author argues against a highway being built along the Rogue River because this will negatively affect the stream, both in health and fish populations.
Finley, William L. (William Lovell), 1876-1953
Manuscript that details the practice of fishing of two species: trout and salmon. There is a heavier focus on the salmon as it goes into the spawning process. The overall tone of the document is about the nature of the pursuit of fish. The author ends the document pondering if there is a difference between actually catching the fish and catching a glimpse.
