412 FIFTY YEARS' SALMON FISHING &c. 



on the fly in the Godbout during the season of 

 1904. 



Two of these, weighing together 40 pounds, 

 were taken by a visitor to the river, Mr. Peter 

 McKenzie. 



The regular Godbout party was the same as in 

 the preceding year : Messrs. John Manuel, James 

 Law, Colonel Whitehead and Mr. James Manuel. 



The individual scores were Mr. John Manuel, 

 129; Mr. James Law, 91; Col. Whitehead, 28, 

 and Mr. James Manuel, 78. 



The last mentioned left the river on the 13th 

 July. The three others remained till the 20th 

 July, as in the preceding year. They also com- 

 menced to fish on the same date as in 1903, 

 namely, the 8th of June. 



The fishing was fairly good throughout the sea- 

 son, no extraordinary day's catch having been 

 made, however, Mr. John Manuel killing his 

 greatest number, 12, on the 20th June. In- 

 cluded in that day's catch were two salmon 

 weighing 26 and 25 pounds respectively. 



A 27-pounder was killed by Mr. Law, and a 

 26-pounder by Mr. James Manuel. 



1905 



The fishing was commenced on the Godbout 

 this year on the 7th June, but so little was done 

 for the first ten days that not more than one fish 

 per day to the four rods was killed up to the 17th 

 of the month.
