A Lewiston man tells the most startling fish story. Four years ago he was fishing at Lake Auburn with a long silk line and a hook of his own manufacture. In the afternoon of one May day he hooked a monster salmon which came to the surface three or four times and then broke the line under the keel of the boat. One day last week he was up there fishing, and about five hundred yards south of the island hooked a salmon which he pulled in by the aid of a scoop net. Embedded in the lower jaw was his old hand-made hook.
