hungry that they provide quick action. Remember that the only 

 difference between a black salmon and a bright one is that 

 the black is headed down river, and the bright up. 



Many a fisherman gets results on black salmon on the Mira- 

 michi merely over a week-end. New Brunswick alone gave an 

 even thousand non-resident Americans good black salmon 

 fishing in six weeks last spring. Recommended rivers are the 

 northwest and southwest branches of the Miramichi, and the 

 Tabusintac, all flowing toward New Brunswick's east coast. For 

 some reason a spring run of fish seems peculiar to these rivers. 

 But the great prize, of course, is the bright salmon, fresh run 

 from the sea. You can reach his parent river, find him, and catch 

 him on a single-handed 6-ounce trout rod, today, for about three 

 per cent of what it cost that old gaffer to get himself aboard a 

 train. Use your sturdiest trout or bass fly rod, and splice a hun- 

 dred yards of backing-line to your casting line.
