HOWE SOUND 



Howe Sound is only a few miles from Vancouver. It is an 

 inlet about twenty-five miles long, parts of which are very good 

 for salmon fishing. The best water at present known is Horse- 

 shoe Bay (described), but there are other good places that we 

 know of, and doubtless others the equal of Horseshoe Bay not 

 yet discovered. 



There is an hotel at Boweii Island and another at Gibson's 

 Landing, from each of which some fishing can be had, but to 

 get the best sport a launch is needed. 



When the cohoes are running they can be caught about any- 

 where, though probably the best water is off the little group 

 of islands near Keats' Island. 



For spring salmon there is good water close to Gibson's 

 Landing, the south ends of Gambier and Anvil Islands and some- 

 times right at the mouth of the Squamish.
