ANGLING 



salmon rivers and other coastal streams to spawn, 

 returning to the sea for the winter season. This 

 very gamy fish affords quite as much sport to the 

 angler as the grilse, and is no way inferior to a 

 salmon of equal size. It rises to the salmon fly, 

 frequents many of the streams in which the sal- 

 mon spawn, and is also captured in their estuaries 

 and along the neighboring bays. As this grand 

 fish is a notorious eater of salmon spawn, the 

 owners of salmon waters are often glad to accord 

 permission to their friends to fish their rivers for 

 sea trout, after the salmon fishing is over. Those 

 who may not be fortunate enough to enjoy an 

 invitation of this kind may secure this excellent 

 sport in several of the Nova Scotian rivers, in 

 some of the Gaspe streams, in many of the bays 

 on the coast of Labrador, and in the vicinity of 

 Tadoussac, at the mouth of the Saguenay. July 

 and August are the best months for this fishing. 



Many varieties of coarse fish abound in Eastern 

 Canada, but in a land so highly favored as this 

 with the best and highest types of game fishes, 

 they obtain but slight recognition from anglers, 

 though some of them would be highly prized in 

 localities less richly endowed by Nature with a 

 wealth of the higher forms of fish life, as viewed 

 from the standpoint of the angler.
