Affords many salmon.

An excellent salmon river, somewhat run down. 
In ITew Brunswick there are salmon in the St. John 
and its tributaries, but the best of the latter, the N^ash- 
waak, has been closed with an impassable dam. From 
St. John it is easy to take the cars to Shediac, and cross 
to Prince Edward's Island, where there is magnificent 
trout fishing, especially near Charlotte, and tolerable 
accommodation ; or one can take the Quebec steamer to 
Bathurst and fish the Kipisiquit, which is admitted to be 
the best river in the province, or the Kestigouche and its 
tributaries, an excellent stream, but much injured by 
spearing ; or the Cascapediacs, which furnish some sal- 
mon and innumerable grilse. The Miramichi, between 
Shediac and Bathurst, is a fine large stream. 
The streams in Canada emptying into the St. Law- 
rence from the south shore, are hardly worth mentioning 
as salmon rivers, having been ruined by mill-dams, with 
the exception of those that empty into Gaspe basin, but 
they all afford superior trout fishing. I would here 
remark, that where the name trout is mentioned in con- 
nection with file British Provinces, the Sahno Trutta 
Marina^ or sea trout, is always intended ; and the sal- 
mon fishing spoken of is fly fishing. The rivers that 
empty into Gaspe basin, such as the Dartmouth, York 
and St. John, are leased, as also the Bonaventure, that 
flows into the Bay of Chaleurs.

benighted regions called the British Provinces, the fol-
