Where to Get Them 



in Miiino, it is only possible to mention some of the 



most proininent trout sections. It will be noticed 



^ . that in Canada, as well as in New York, the 

 Ontario ,.,,,,,, . , 



tish calit'd lake trout is the same species 



as that called togue, in Maine. During the last 



three or four years trout fishing in the Adirondack 



region has vastly improved, so that the future 



looks exceedingly bright, compared to ten years 



ago when trout were few and far between, and 



anglers were forced to go elsewhere for sport. 



This happy change has come about, by reason 



^ , of ample stocking of the waters, not

only by the state, but by wealthy 



private individuals and clubs. There are no less 

 than thirty-eight lakes and ponds, as well as nine- 

 teen streams, in which the red-throat trout, brook, 

 brown, lake, and rainbow are, in a measure, 

 fairly plentiful, because they have been stocked 

 every season under the auspices of the Saranac 

 Lake Fish and Game Club. 



This last season two lake trout were taken 

 from Owl and Pine ponds, weighing twenty-six 

 and twenty-seven pounds, both caught on small 

 Archer spinners, with minnow, in deep water. 



Many of the large lakes in western central 

 New York are well stocked w^th trout; chief 

 among them is Lake Keuka, which contains 



big specimens of rainbow, lake, and 

 New York "^^ook trout. They are caught by 



trolling with spoons, having three 

 branch leaders from the main line placed at 

 various dej)ths. It is a common occurrence for
