During the height of the season when there are a great many boats out it is common to hire a launch which will tow from four to a dozen boats over towards Emerald Bay on the California side, or towards Glenbrook on the Nevada side, where the fishing grounds are known to be of the best.
The boatmen especially enjoy these days out--although the "fares" may not always suspect it--as it gives them a change from their ordinary routine and table fare.
They enjoy trout as well as do the visitors, and of course, they are all expert cooks as well as boatmen.
