 region 

 has de- 

 veloped 

 slowly, 

 because 

 so isolat-

 Quebec 

 there 

 were the 

 Saguenay steam- 

 ers in summer, 

 or a long round 

 over the moun- 

 tains by roads impass- 

 able for weeks in au- 

 tumn and spring, and 

 running through a hun- 

 dred miles of wilder- 

 ness. 



But whatever value 

 the region may have for 

 the settler, or charms 

 for the eye of the tourist, it has for the 

 angler an unique attraction, it is the 

 land of the winanishe. And what is a 

 winanishe ?
