A DAY 



WITH MASCALONGE 



" Where order in variety we see, 

 And where, though all things differ, all agree." 



AMERICAN sportsmen are blessed with 

 vast areas to explore and a diversified 

 fauna to engage their greatest enter- 

 ^ prise and to reward their best efforts, 

 without leaving the confines of their own country. 

 And numberless lakes, rivers, and streams there are 

 to allure and please the large and rapidly-growing 

 sub-division which finds chiefest pleasure beside 

 limpid streams and ruffled lakes, and which may 

 be termed the guild of American Anglers. 



The mighty tarpon, lordly salmon, and gamy 

 trout have their devotees who are not slow to sing 

 their praises ; but for size, spirit, dash, fight, and all 

 that gives fascination and excitement to piscatorial 

 sport, no mean place must be accorded to the 

 mighty mascalonge. 



This monarch of fresh waters, as might be ex- 

 pected, attains greatest size in the St. Lawrence
