reached from Boston and New York by rail or by 

 water, and both provinces are honey-combed 

 with large and small rivers, lakes and ponds, con-

 Head-quarters in New Brunswick can be made 

 either at St. John, St. Andrews, St. 

 Brmiswick Stephen, or at Fredericton, for the 

 following rivers: the Nashwaak, Tay, 

 Miramichi, Cains, and the Clearwater, the 

 Rivers Tobique, Forks, and Campbell. From 

 head-quarters at Edmundton there are many 

 rivers from which to make a choice, the upper 

 St. John, Madawaska, and Green rivers.

reached from Quebec City. In western 



Ontario may be found grand trout fishing in 



Lake Nipigon, and near the outlet of Georgian 



Bay is the famous Lake Nipissing. In Canada, as
