CHAPTER XXI 

 FISHING IN CANADA 



IT is owing to the repeated enquiry of my clients with regard 

 to Canada as a fishing ground that I am endeavouring in a 

 short chapter to give some indication of the fishing to be 

 obtained there. 



Canada offers a vaster field and a greater variety of sport 

 than any other country in the world. In Canada, if the 

 fisherman will take the trouble to travel away from the beaten 

 track, away from the railways and the big towns, he is 

 certain under good guidance to obtain excellent sport in the 

 way of fishing ; but although trout rivers and streams are 

 plentiful, the visitor must not expect in all districts to 

 find a plethora of trout, though there are always sufficient 

 in the Canadian streams and lakes to afford good sport. 



One of the many enjoyable methods of getting trout 

 fishing in Canada is by taking guides and a suitable outfit, 

 and adopting the Canadian method of camping out, and it 

 is in this innovation that the charm of Canadian outdoor life 

 will be realized. It is the delight of living in the open, 

 surrounded by the wildest and grandest scenery of Canada, 

 which repays, and it is because the average fisherman has with- 

 in himself a keen love of the natural, and an appreciation of 

 the rugged grandeur of mountain and forest scenery, that the 

 ever varying beauties of the spots to which his sport will 

 take him in Canada will well repay him for roughing it 

 and for the time he spends in such fishing expeditions, even 

 should sport fail to realize his expectations.
