400 FLY FISHING AND SPINNING 



on the head from one stream to another ; it is so noiseless 

 that in it the hunter can approach his quarry without the 

 slightest sound, yet withal it has enormous carrying capacity. 



It is therefore in canoes, and in the highways of Canada 

 its rivers and lakes that one of the most delightful 

 forms of travelling and of obtaining sport is to be obtained. 

 With the camera, the rod and the gun, the traveller will 

 find, if properly directed, the most fascinating and delightful 

 of all wanderings. 



A canoe trip down some of the rivers which run into Lake 

 Superior on the North and East shores should furnish every 

 delightful experience, and, if the river be carefully selected, 

 an abundance of sport, especially of the wet fly variety, 

 will be obtained; and here I must emphasize the necessity 

 of having and being able to use the rods, reels, lines and 

 lures, not only for the dry and wet fly method, but for 

 spinning, etc. 



A very enjoyable fishing trip may be had by visiting 

 the reefs on the Northern shores of Lake Superior, and the 

 rivers and streams which run into the Lake, but a strong and 

 really well-found seaworthy motor boat, or small steam 

 boat of light draught, should be hired in Sault Ste. Marie 

 for this purpose, with a captain well experienced in the 

 wilfulness of Lake Superior. A proper outfit of canoes, 

 Chippewa Indians, a cook, and everything which is wanted, 

 or which is likely to be wanted, will have to be taken, for 

 when once the boat has started, civilization and all its 

 advantages will be left behind. June and July will be the 

 ideal months for such a trip, and the finest lake and river 

 fishing in Canada may be had in one extending along the 

 East and Northern Shore of Lake Superior from Batchawana 

 Bay to the Mouth of the Nipigon. Rough weather and 

 this mighty inland freshwater sea can be most wondrous 

 rough will be encountered, but good seamanship will
