Salmon, Sebago Salmon, Schoodic 

 Salmon, Lake Salmon, Lost Salmon, 

 etc. ; while in the Lake St. John and 

 Upper Saguanay region ; province of 

 Quebec, it is voluntarily known as the 

 Winninish, Ouananiche, and Wa- 

 nanishe. In his entertaining as well 

 as instructive work, "The Leaping 

 Ouananiche," descriptive of this game 

 fish, its haunts, habits, and the meth- 

 ods of taking it with rod and line, the 

 author, Eugene McCarthy, adopts 

 the name given in the title of the book, 

 wherein he proves the correctness of 

 this, and the fact that the fish is as 

 great an aquatic acrobat as the 

 salmon of Canadian rivers. 



For some reason the natives of 

 Labrador, New Brunswick and Nova 

 Scotia, call the land-locked salmon 

 a "grayling," yet there is little if any 

 resemblance to the delicate fish of that 

 name. There are other appellations, 

 less commonly used, but the foregoing 

 are those most frequently applied 

 when referring to this excellent game 

 fish.
