 perch, black bass or pickerel fishing in the world, landing at

 Chas. A. Rolfe, whom everybody knows, anil who keeps a

Grand Lake Stream, just alluded to, affords as fine fly 

 fishing for land-locked salmon as can be found anywhere ; it 

 is a short stream, some 2 1-2 m. in length, with grand falls 

 and elegant pools, and is sometimes navigated with a canoe. 

 Grand Lake is a famous lake, 12 m. 1. by 5 or more w., one 

 of the four original land-locked salmon lakes in Maine, and 

 one of the surest and most certain for catches of land-locked 

 salmon or togue of any lake I know of ; the salmon are not 

 usually of large size, though sometimes caught weighing as 

 hic^h as seven pounds : there are multitudes of them ; the 

 togue fishing is first class, and of the finest quality I have 

 ever seen ; there are also catches of square tailed trout, but in 

 small quantities ; this is a famous and noted fishing resort and 

 is constantly growing in favor ; it is also a great hunting re- 

 sort from Princeton to and in and around this country, and 

 for a few vears past some moose have been taken ; moose 

 seem to be increasing in this locality. From Grand Lake, 

 Ox Brook, West Musquash, and a multitude of other 

 lakes and ponds are reached ; there are also many streams 

 which afford good brook trout fishing, and as described in 

 the chapter on Penobscot County, Horseshoe, Sisladobsis, 

 Dobsis, Sisladobsisis, Duck. Junior. Pocompass, Keg. Bottle 

 and other lakes are reached by canoe and short can-ies. 



To the sportsman who wishes first class fishing, or the 

 hunter in quest of big game. I do not hesitate to recommend 

 him to go to Washington County. Registered guides may be 

 had in any of the towns mentioned, outfits procured, com-
