It is a matter of regret that these splendid fish are 

 decreasing in numbers, but the fact has ceased to be 

 disputed that these fish are genuine trout, the question 

 arises, how came they in the waters, so far from streams 

 or lakes, having an)' direct connection with Lake Su- 

 perior waters ? 



Andrew Slater, who lives on T)ndairs farm over at 

 Pokegama lake, brought in a lake trout to-day, weigh- 

 ing thirty pounds, that he caught with a spoon hook, 

 beween the Tyndall place and Bender's point. It is 

 the finest trout ever hooked in these waters. 



Several fishermen trit:d the Trout lake fishincr aofain 

 last Thursday with but indifferent success. It has not 

 proveci to be a very good year for lake trout fishing. —
