Fish and Fishing 



tered localities isolated specimens are, at times, 

 caught, and those are a survival of artificial 

 planting in the vain hope of a return to the once 

 plentiful supply of by-gone years. 



While Maine provides unequalled trout, togue, 

 and landlocked salmon of remarkable size and 

 abundance, its large rivers, like the Kennebec, 

 „ . have been entirely robbed of this noble 



fish by means of dams and other ob- 

 structions. The real, true, game fishing for 

 salmon with a fly is in the Province of New 

 Brunswick; and the most famous rivers on the 

 northeastern coast are the Restigouche 

 Brunswick ("mostly private water), the Meta- 

 pedia, Upsalquitch, Patapedia, and 

 Kidgwick. Parts of these rivers are free to all 

 comers, but the best pools are reserved either by 

 clubs or private parties. The rivers on the north 

 of the Bay of Chaleur are the Grand Bonaventure, 

 Grand Cascapedia, Grand Romaine, and the 

 St. Anne des Monts, in the Province of Quebec. 

 On the St. Lawrence are the Godbout, the Moisie 

 and the Mingan rivers, with a number of fair-sized 

 fish in smaller streams nearer to the city of Quebec. 



In Nova Scotia there are a number of small 



salmon streams with fairly good fishing, and 



there, perhaps, is the most desirable
