Where to Get Them 



in Maine, it is only possible to mention some of the 

 most prominent trout sections. It will be noticed 

 . that in Canada, as well as in New York, the 

 fish called lake trout is the same species 

 as that called togue, in Maine. During the last 

 three or four years trout fishing in the Adirondack 

 region has vastly improved, so that the future 

 looks exceedingly bright, compared to ten years 

 ago when trout were few and far between, and 

 anglers were forced to go elsewhere for sport. 

 This happy change has come about, by reason 



of ample stocking of the waters, not

only by the State, but by wealthy 



private individuals and clubs. There are no less 

 than thirty-eight lakes and ponds, as well as nine- 

 teen streams, in which the red-throat trout, brook, 

 brown, lake, and rainbow are, in a measure, 

 fairly plentiful, because they have been stocked 

 every season under the auspices of the Saranac 

 Lake Fish and Game Club. 



This last season two lake trout were taken 

 from Owl and Pine ponds, weighing twenty-six 

 and twenty-seven pounds, both caught on small 

 Archer spinners, with minnow, in deep water. 



Many of the large lakes in western central 



New York are well stocked with trout; chief 



among them is Lake Keuka, which contains 



big specimens of rainbow, lake, and 



New r York k ro k trout. They are caught by 



trolling with spoons, having three 



branch leaders from the main line placed at 



various depths. It is a common occurrence for
