GOOD FISHING PROSPECTS 25 



Thursday noon without hooking a fish, and 

 went home Saturday with seventeen. The 

 outing or trip narrated here was begun May 

 28, 1880. Mill Village, a settlement on the 

 Medway, was reached after a journey of 

 thirty miles at 7.30 a.m. There we met our 

 Indian guides, Sol and Peter, who, with their 

 boats ready and teams engaged to take them 

 up the stream, were waiting for us. We 

 were soon away, and at 9.30 had a boat in 

 the water at the foot of Poltz Falls, and the 

 other at the head of the same. S. and Peter 

 were to fish the foot of Poltz, Hemlock Eun, 

 and little Salmon Pool, while Sol and I were 

 to try the head of Poltz Shoal Ground, and 

 Kempton's Eun, with all the intervening 

 ground. We were so anxious for sport, that 

 we dumped our outfit on the camping-ground, 

 put our rods together and started for the 

 respective locations. The water was just 

 right for good fishing. Sol and I anchored 

 above a smooth run on the south-east side of 

 Poltz a favourite resting spot for the fish 

 after having faced the long, heavy waters of 

 the Falls.
