tinuirig the trip. Crossing Burntside a portage, a mile long, 

 takes one into Crab lake, a very pretty lake, surrounded with 

 virgin pine. There are a few bass in Crab lake, but they are 

 not biters, although a number of anglers have made good 

 catches there. From Crab lake a portage of 117 rods, leads 

 into Clark lake, where some bass are caught. Coming back 

 to Crab, a 20-rod portage leads into Little Crab, following 

 down Cameron creek a lift-out 10 rods long brings one to Korb 

 lake and on down river about two miles a 30-rod portage leads 

 into Clear lake, where plenty of good bass fishing can be se- 

 cured. At the west end of Clear lake a 10-rod portage takes 

 you into Otter lake, where there is good fishing. Clear lake 

 offers the camper many attractions, and by camping there 

 three other bass lakes can be reached without difficulty. 



Sabawa lake, which has some nice bass and sunfish, can be 

 reached from Clear by making one portage of 30 and another 

 of 55 rods. The trip could be continued down the Little Sioux 

 river from Otter lake, portage into Trout lake, thence into 

 Vermilion, ending at Tower. However the Little Sioux is 

 rather difficult in low water, owing to the boulders in the river 

 bed. 



For the man who wishes to take his wife with him the Clear 

 lake trip would be the most convenient and pleasant. Here
