scribed from Sebago Lake. Fly-fishing for land-locked 

 salmon may be had at Grand Lake Stream in Maine, 

 and, for the ouananiche, at the Grand Decharge of the 

 Saguenay River which flows from Lake St. John, Pro- 

 vince of Quebec, Canada. In Grand Lake, other 

 Maine lakes, and in Lake St. John the fishing is chiefly 

 done by trolling. 



For either fly-casting or trolling for land-locks and 

 ouananiche heavy trout tackle is suitable, although 

 where the fish run large a grilse rod may be used. 

 Land-locked salmon taken by trolling in lakes weigh 

 from eight to twenty pounds. Those taken by fly-fish- 

 ing in streams, as in Grand Lake Stream and at the 

 Grand Decharge, average two pounds and seldom range 

 over five. Small sized salmon flies are generally used. 

 Latterly, at Grand Lake Stream, dry-fly fishing for 

 land-locks has been tried successfully when the wet- 

 fly fishing with the larger flies has been below par. 



The following narrative of the capture of a land- 

 locked salmon on fly-tackle at Grand Lake (by the 

 present writer considered the very best "fish story" he 

 has ever had the pleasure of reading for which reason 

 the somewhat lengthy quotation is, perhaps, pardon- 

 able), written by Mr. Henry Wysham Lanier and 

 published in The Outing Magazine, July, 1903, under 

 the title of "The Gamest Fish That Swims," will 

 afford the best possible idea of the character of the 

 land-locked salmon, when taken in running water, or 

 of the ouananiche, and of the tackle and methods em- 

 ployed. The reader particularly interested in the land- 

 locked salmon and the ouananiche, should not fail to
