Journal Entry

August 26, 1885 ~ Wednesday

26 We have had rain, two days it cleared up this
Morning & we went fishing up pine Canyon Creek
We fished up the south fork then the North but all
the borders of the creek was so full of Brush & large
rocks & steep Bluffs it was almost impossible to travel
and vary difficult to get the hook into the water it took
3/4 of the time to wallow through the Brush clime rocks
& untangle my line that I could not fish one quarter
of the time I caught 20 trout & Br Thompson 12, but I
was so weary when I got through I could sccarsly stand
on My feet 10 Miles
