90 THE SPORTSMAN’S AND TOURIST’S GUIDE. 
there are lake trout, and this lake can be 
reached by a drive of five miles from 
Magog. ‘There are also small streams 
within a few miles where good trout fish- 
ing may be had, and the proprietors of 
the hotels here, as elsewhere, will afford 
those visiting this section all possible 
information. 
In the second place, there are numer- 
ous small villages near which excellent 
fishing may be had, and though many of 
them have no hotels, yet the inhabitants 
are hospitable and kindly in the extreme, 
and the ambition (?) to become the pos- 
sessor of the traveler’s last cent is, as 
yet, unknown. 
Thirdly, as to camping out, the coun- 
ties of Wolfe and Megantic are wild and 
unsettled, as also are parts of the coun- 
ties of Compton, Richmond, and Shef- 
ford, and even parts of the town of Sher- 
brooke, and the tourist would do well to 
arm himself with a rifle, as he may have 
an opportunity to meet Bruin in his na- 
tive haunts. Of course, only in the 
wilder parts of the above counties is this 
possible, but there are numerous smaller 
animals, and eagles are quite common. 
Brompton Lake, and Lake Megantic, 
Aylmer, and others afford splendid sport, 
as well as many tributaries of the Chau- 
diere. The Waterloo Fishing Club have 
a shanty on an island in Brompton Lake, 
and are exceedingly courteous to all 
sportsmen, and many small lakes near 
their village would well repay a week 
spent on their shores. There are also 
salmon in Salmon River, but they wlll 
not take a fly. 
The most favorable season for trout 
fishing is during May and June, and the 
latter part of September. During the 
hotter months they are only to be found 
in the spring-holes and deep shady pools; 
but there are several lakes in which they 
can be caught on any cloudy Summer 
day, and during the Summer the cool 
clear air, the fresh invigorating breezes, 
and the numberless fragrant and shady 
glens offer attractions not to be found in 
the cooler months.

MAGOG AND ITS ATTRACTIONS. 
At the foot of Lake Memphremagog, in the 
Province of Quebec, is situated a little village 
called Magog, It is a place where you can go 
and take your family with you, and get good 
brook trout fishing. Here you will find a nice 
hotel, ‘‘ The Union Honse,” kept by Mr. John 
Norton, a brother of the angle, and who 
knows how to drop a fly in the right place, at 
the right time, and also what is of as great 
importance, how to entertain his sportsmen 
friends and tnéir families. The house is situ- 
ated directly on the lake and commanding a 
fine view of it. Directly fronting it looms old 
“ Mount Oxford,”’ said to be the highest moun 
tain in the province of Quebec, and from the 
summit of which can be counted thirty-three 
sheets of water, and by the aid of a glass the 
spires in Montreal can be seen in clear weather. 
Mr. Furboye, the superintendant, and the em- 
ployees of the Waterloo & Magvug Railroad, 
do all in their power to accormr.odate sports- 
men as much as possible. At Magog, consid- 
erable sport can be enjoyed. Early in June 
there is good trout fishing, and later in the 
season, lunge are taken pretty freely in the 
lake by deep fishing, among them some of 
good size. Pickerel fishing is good, and some 
weighing as high as three pounds are taken 
by trolling with live bait. Some fine trout 
streams take their rise in its neighborhood, 
and in the proper season a good string of fish 
is sure to be the result of a day’s ramble. Near 
at hand also are the Magog and Cary rivers, 
where may be had some of the best fly fishing 
in the whole Megantie region. The rides and 
drives in every direction from Magog are de- 
lightful, and within half a dozen miles there 
are numerous trout streams, in all of which you 
may fill your creel with good sized, handsome 
brook trout. In addition to this, Lake Mem- 
phremagog is weil stocked with lake trout, 
called there lunge. These are from three to
