A week's absence from the Sault will | 
give, ordinarily, several day’s fine sport. | 
Tf this was better kuown the bay would | 
be more frequently visited. Cady’s | 
River, at the extreme southeast corner | 
of the bay, affords good sport. A gen- | 
tleman who fished there in the season of 
18TS, says, “ we pushed up as faras the | 
brash and logs would permit,” and then | 
“went ashare and pushed through the | 
brash up the stream to find some rapid | 
water, John (the guide) preceded me, | 
breaking a path through the under |

of description. The heights are steep 
and wooded upon both sides, and the 
falls between, with intervening —foam- 
flecked pools, render it a wild and beau> 
tifal place. Near the foot of the apper 
fall is a fine pool, that will yield fish of 
from two to three pounds, and oceasion- 
ally four pounds, 
Roek fishing is fine in Carp River. 
Landing at or near and old pier built by 
some miners, and following an old rail- 
read grade until it crosses the river, 
and thence coming down the river, there 
is to be found very fine sport. Trout of 
three pounds are not uncommon, and twa

Janes’ River is another goed stream, | 
where fish of two and three poands are | 
often taken, There is an Indian ledge | 
on the stream, where, in case of emer |

Harmony River will also afford good | 
sport. The river below the falls is slug~ |

falls suddenly bursting apoa you as yor | 
ping your flies on the water, the fish will
