62 THE EEPOET UPON Xo. 14 



Bass fishing was not very good. I would certainly recommend that the waters 

 be stocked with bass as fishing for this species of fish is simply no good. 

 Ducks were not plentiful this season for some reason. 

 Black squirrels, rabbits and partridge are numerous. 



From Overseer Amos Shearer, of Roseneath, for that portion of Eice Lake in 

 the Townships of Hamilton and Alnwick, between Eock Island and Webb's Land- 

 ing, with waters tributary thereto. 



Fishing in Eice Lake has not been as good this year as in previous years. A 

 lot of poaching was going on at the lower end of the Lake in the spring. 



I would advise that the Lake be restocked with black bass. 



Duck shooting has been poor. 



Muskrat are qiute plentiful but mink are scarce. 



Partridge and black squirrel are quite numerous. 



From Overseer D. C. Stuart, of Codrington, for Trent Eiver and tributaries, 

 from Chisholm's Eapids to Percy Boom. 



All kinds of fish are plentiful and trout fishing has been extra good. A lot of 

 trout were caught in Marsh Creek where there never was known to be trout until 

 this year. 



Partridge are plentiful and black squirrels have not been so numerous in years. 



Ducks are ahout as usual. 



The creeks and marshes are full of muskrats. I never saw as many rat houses 

 as there are at the present time. 



From Overseer W. H. Thompson, of Bailiehoro, for the Otonaheel Eiver, from 

 Bensfort Bridge to Eice Lake. 



'Fishing has been very poor this season, black bass not biting well. 



Maskinonge had a spell of biting in August, and again about the last of 

 October. 



Ducks are about the same as last season. 



Trapping was good last spring, and muskrats are very plentiful this fall, and 

 they are very busy at the present time building their winter homes. 



Partridge are not so plentiful as last season. Black squirrels are very scarce. 



I would recommend a close season for frogs, as they are very scarce and should 

 bee protected during their spawning season. 



Ontakio County. 



From Overseer Gilbert Gillespie, of Brechin, for Lake Simcoe and tributaries 

 fronting Township of Mara. 



The winter fishing for whitefish along this shore was not very good owing to 

 too much slush under the ice. October fishing for salmon trout was very good and 

 bass fishing was also very good, but the run small. The lake is full of whitefish. 



Very few ducks were seen. 



Partridge are plentiful. 



Muskrats are numerous but mink are not to be seen, being very scarce. 



From Overseer Charles Ealward, of Canningion, for Beaver Eiver, running 

 through the Townships of Brock and Thorah, and the Villages of Sunderland and 

 Cannington. - "
