BEDNESTI LAKE 



This lake is thirty-two miles west of Prince George and can 

 be reached by auto, except for the last two miles, which have 

 to be walked. The fish run from one-half to two pounds. There 

 is a boat and a canoe on the lake also a cabin owned by the 

 Fishery officer. 



CLUCULZ LAKE 



This lake is fifty miles west of Prince George, on the road 

 to Vanderhoof. The principal fishing is trolling for lake trout, 

 which have been caught up to thirty pounds in weight. There 

 is also good fly fishing. 



STEWART LAKE 



Some day when this lake becomes a little easier of access, 

 there will be a pilgrimage of fishermen there from all over the 

 world. "We have some pretty good fishing in many parts of 

 this Province, but probably none to equal that which can be 

 had in Stewart, Babine and Cunningham Lakes and other 

 smaller lakes in the vicinity and in the streams running in or 

 out of them. 



There are Great Lake trout running up to enormous 

 weights, Dolly Vardens, Rainbow which can be caught on the 

 fly in some of the streams up to five and six pounds in weight, 

 cut-throats and pike are reported to be there also. 



To get to Stewart Lake you get off at Vanderhoof on the 

 G. T. P. and take the stage to Fort St. James. This place is 

 situated on the lake at the exit of the Stewart River. There 

 are stores, and accommodation is to be had, and Indians and 

 canoes and boats can be hired at quite reasonable rates. 



You can get some good fly fishing at the outlet, the fish run- 

 ning from one up to four pounds. There are also some smaller 

 lakes in the vicinity, which can be reached by canoe and are 

 well worth fishing. 



However, if you want the very best of sport, you should 

 prepare for a camping out trip of some duration, as you must 

 take a boat and go to the west end of the lake. If there are 

 any mosquitoes or flies, you can always avoid them by camping 

 on an island. 



When you get to the far end, if you care for trolling, try 

 the North Arm as this is by far the best part of the lake. If 

 you want fly fishing get an Indian to drive you over to Cun- 

 ningham Lake, it is only five miles, and fish the Cunningham 

 River from its outlet for a mile down. In this mile you will 

 find some beautiful pools, and in these pools you will get rain- 

 bow that weigh up to five pounds to take the fly.
