as is too often the case with the so-called friend 
of the Indian. No finer trout fishing is to be 
found anywhere on the broad earth that can 
be had on the north shore of this great inland 
ocean. Speckled trout, weighing from five to 
twelve pounds, are often caught by the few 
adventurous spirit who have for several years 
sought these favored shores. The rivers Ni- 
pigon and Michapacoton are the best known

out of it. Marquette, as a watering place, 
cannot well be excelled. Romantic scenery 
surrounding one onevery side, a cool, bracing 
atmosphere, which to those who may be suffer-

Take an Indian for your guide if you go to the 
north shore to fish; see that you get one that 
does not love ‘fire water,’’ and one that is 
not afraid to work. Plenty of lazy white men 
will tender their services, and boast of their 
knowledge and skill, but trust them not. They 
are utterly worthless, either in your boat or 
like an immense mirror beneath the rays of 
the setting sun, and when dotted with vessels 
and steamers, presents a scene worthy the 
pencil of an artist. Salmon trout abound in 
its waters, and are often taken by trolling, 
weighing from five to twenty-five pounds 
each. One person not unfrequently captures 
from one to twenty fish per day, in the season. 
There are a number of streams in the vicinity, 
where the speckled beauties are awaiting the 
fly of the angler. Dead, Chocolay, Little and 
Garlic rivers are near by, and are noted trout
