Brush Creek we called it believing it to be the mouth of a stream in the back country known by that name.

The next day, two or three miles up, a branch was found to come from the south, and as this was thought to be Brush Creek, the larger one was named after Cap., and "Bishop's Creek" was put on our map.

Doubtless there are plenty of trout in this creek and in others we had passed, but we had no proper tackle for trout and besides seldom had time for fishing when at these places.

Jack, when not too tired, fished in the Green and generally had good success.

Our present locality would have been a rare place for a month or two's sojourn had we been sportsmen with time on our hands.
