of pure air that gives life and health and the 

 appetite of a horse, the angling waters of the 

 vicinity of Toledo lead the world. 



Favored by the ice, which prevented the 

 fishermen from getting in their nets early in 

 the Spring, and by the currents of surface 

 water flowing down the streams, as much as 

 the enforcement of the laws in Michigan, the 

 fish of Lake Erie have again come back to 

 their old summer haunts at this end of the lake. 

 They are more numerous in the waters and the 

 catches of the angler larger than they have been 

 before for the past eighteen years. With a 

 reasonable enforcement of the laws that already 

 exist, and better ones in the future, with the 

 destructive gill nets driven from Maumee Bay, 

 as they are now and will be in the future ; with 

 all inland streams kept clear of nets, the waters 

 of the vicinity of Toledo will become famous 

 anghng resorts, drawing to this city thousands 

 of people who spend their money treely.
