46 THE REPORT UPON No. 14 



I would recommend that all camp help for fishing and hunting parties have 

 to take out guide's license as a lot of them go as camp help when they are 

 actually guides which is not fair to the licensed guides and it is almost impossible 

 to keep track of them all. 



I would recommend that a higher price be charged for angling permits to 

 tourists. 



From Overseer John McArthur, of Ice Lake, for the Township of Allan, 



Fishing was about the same as usual, pike and bass being quite plentiful. 



Partridge, ducks and rabbits are not as numerous as last year. 



Mink and muskrat show no signs of decrease. 



Otter are scarce. 



Deer are increasing every year. 



From Overseer David Pyette, of Tehkummah, for Manitoidin Island. 

 Speckled trout are not nearly so plentiful as a few years ago, but tourists 

 report bass fishing good. 



Partridge and wild ducks are very scarce. 



Small fur-bearing animals such as mink and muskrat are plentiful. 



Red deer are becoming more plentiful each year in this district. 



From Overseer J. Rameshottom, of Little Current, for the District of 

 Manitoulin. ' 



I find that partridge are very scarce, and think a close season for two or 

 three years would help to increase them. 



Red deer and moose are very plentiful and seem to be getting more so. 



Ducks are scarce in this locality, but that can be accounted for by the scarcity 

 of suitable feed for them, 



Beaver seem to be increasing. 



Bass were not so plentiful this year as last and were hard to catch. They 

 began biting in September more than in earlier months. 



Middlesex 'County. 



From Overseer William Boler, of Lamheth, for River Thames, between 

 London and boundary line between Townships Delaware and Westminster. 



Black squirrels are slightly on the increase. 



We have one small flock of quail here. 



Several wild ducks have hatched here during the past summer. 



Partridge are very scarce. 



I would ask the Department to put a fee of $2.00 per annum on persons 

 not owning any land who prowl around to shoot at anything. This would help 

 to pay off the war debt. 



From Overseer J. D. Campbell, of Parkhill, for the River Aux Sauble and 

 tributaries. 



The coarse fish in Aux Sauble River were not up to the average as the 

 season was late and some net fishermen complain of a poor catch. 



Ducks are not as plentiful as in 1914. 



Squirrels seem to be numerous. 



Partridge are scarce.
