The Lake of the Sky

CHAPTER I
8/17

This has become as world-famed as its colors.

Thousands, hundreds of thousands, of the most gamey and delicately-flavored trout are caught here annually, both by experts and amateurs.

To the mountain-lover the Tahoe region is an earthly paradise.

You will find all the well-known, and several rare and entirely new species in this region.
