Lord and Lady Dufferin visited the Godbout in 

 1873 as guests of the proprietors, and enjoyed a 

 couple of days' fishing. Their Excellencies cap-

 10, 11 and 10 pounds respectively, and four on 

 the following day, of 10, 9, 10 and 11 pounds res-

Mr. G. Denholm, of Montreal, fished the river 

 from the 4th to the 12th of July, and only three 

 rods were on it throughout the entire short season 

 which commenced the 19th June, namely, those of 

 Mr. Allan Gilmour, Ottawa, and Messrs. A. 

 Cross and R. Muir, of Montreal. 



Mr. Allan Gilmour had one remarkably good 

 day, killing 25 fish on the 30th of June. Other-

 1,491 pounds.
