fish — California salmon — have been 
made in the inland lakes of Northern 
Michigan, and the grandest results are 
being made manifest, affording the cer-

salmon, 1,500 grayling, &c.; but it is

in waters greatly varying in size, depth, 
and temperature, ranking high with

During past years millions of various 
kinds of fish have been deposited in the

land-locked salmon, 75,000 California 
above, all the inland rivers and lakes 
of the northern country furnish abundant 
supply of pike, muskalonge (which have 
been caught weighing as high as thirty 
pounds), pickerel, lake trout, &c., of the 
larger, and white, striped, and rock bass, 
perch, &c., of the smaller. 
The lake trout attains a great size, 
and instances are on record of catches of 
this fish of great weight and numbers.
