Appendix to the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the ..session of the Legislature of the State of California . unding streams, thewaters of Utah Lake, in the summer at least, being milky with alkali.The remaining fish of this family to which I need refer, is the DollyVarden trout, or charr, which is the finest of the trout-like fishes on thiscoast. It is found in the Upper Sacramento, and thence along the lineof the Cascade range as far as Kamtschatka. It often enters the sea, where it loses its spots and becomes plain silvery gray. I have myselfobtained a specimen, weighing eleven pounds, near Seattle, in PugetSound, but in the mountain streams specimens weighing even a singlepound are comparatively rare.

They all grow large in the sea, and inthe little mountain brooks their size corresponds to their advantages;every trout, large or small, is perfect so far as he goes.

This region should bethe Mecca of anglers as it is of all lovers of the beautiful and thesublime in nature. In the East the trout or charr has almost passedaway.
