98 ROD & CREEL 



For Fender Harbour streams the best flies are Parmachene 

 Belle, Coachman, Montreal and the Teals. 



SECIIELT 



This place is some thirty-five miles from Vancouver and is 

 reached by Union Steamship Company boats, which call there 

 every few days. 



There is quite a good-sized hotel, with very fair accommo- 

 dation. 



The principal fishing is for salmon. Springs run there all 

 winter, grilse in July and cohoes in August. 



There is a small stream within half-an-hour's walk of the 

 hotel in which there are quantities of small trout which can 

 be taken on the fly. 



You can also walk half a mile across to Porpoise Bay and 

 hire a launch to take you up to Clowholm River or Narrows 

 Arm, both of which streams are mentioned under Jervis Inlet. 



NELSON ISLAND 



There is a fine big lake on this island, stretching almost 

 from one side to the other. The trout, which are both rain- 

 bows and cut-throats, can be caught by trolling or with the fly. 



The best months are April, May, and until the middle of 

 June. After that it is not much good until fall. 



There is no accommodation nearer than Pender Harbour. 



It is almost impossible to give proper directions where to 

 leave your boat to go up to the lake, but you can go in from 

 either side of the island and any settler will point out the 

 place where the trail begins. 



SAGINAW LAKE 



(See Pender Harbour.) 



JERVIS INLET 



This inlet is one of the most important waters for fishing 

 within easy access of Vancouver. Apart, however, from the 

 hotel at Pender Harbour, there is no accommodation to be had, 

 and it cannot be satisfactorily fished except from a launch. 



It is good for salmon fishing both winter, spring and falL 

 In the winter the best fishing is just at the mouth of Agamemnon 

 Channel, later on at Skookum Chuck, where there are often some 

 big runs of spring salmon, and in May and June, right up at 

 the head.
