THE HUMBER RIVER. 



X 



THE SEA-TROUT AND SALMON STREAMS OF 

 NEWFOUNDLAND 



FEW indeed are the regions of the world more prolific in fishes 

 than the coasts of Newfoundland. Vast eddies from the 

 contact of the Gulf Stream with two branches of the Arctic current 

 form the great submarine deposits known as the Newfoundland 

 banks, stocked with an inexhaustible supply of marine fish life, 

 while inland every tumbling brook and blue lake is populous with 

 trout. The salmon streams of Newfoundland are becoming better 

 preserved every year, hence the fishing undoubtedly promises 

 rapid improvement. The magnificent Humber, pursuing a course 

 through the immense lake known as Deer Pond, and lapping the 

 base of precipitous cliffs, affords sport amidst enchanting and 

 even noble surroundings. A very attractive trip is to start from 

 Deer Lake, with camp outfit and a couple of good boatmen, for the 

 long pool immediately below the Grand Falls. Two days will suffice
