58 THe Determined Angler 



with the Buckhill, which lies in an opposite direction 

 from Canadensis. 



The Bushkill is the wildest stream in the region, and 

 is fished less than any of the others named, one reason 

 being that there are plenty of trout in the waters of 

 Canadensis which can be fished without the Angler 

 going so far. For those who like to camp, the Bush- 

 kill is the proper locality. I spent a day there with 

 friends one season, and we caught in less than two 

 hours, in the liveliest possible manner, all the trout 

 five of us could eat throughout the day, and four 

 dozen extra large ones which we took home to send 

 to friends in the city. 



"The trout in the Bushkill," remarked one of my 

 companions, "are so wild that they're tame" an 

 expression based upon the greediness and utter dis- 

 regard of the enemy with which fontinalis, in his 

 unfamiliarity with man, took the fly. I remember 

 having a number of rises within two feet of my legs 

 as I was taking in my line for a front toss. 



I know men who have many times traveled a thou- 

 sand miles from New York on an angling trip to 

 different famous waters who have not found either 

 the sport or the scenery to be enjoyed on the Bushkill. 



The lower Brodhead below the point at which this 

 stream and Spruce Cabin Run come together is very 

 beautiful. It is owned by a farmer who lives on its 

 banks, and who has never been known to refuse 

 Anglers permission to fish there when they asked for 

 the privilege. 



There are four natural features in the scenery about 

 Canadensis that are especially prized by the country- 

 men there the Sand Spring, Buckhill Falls, Spruce 

 Cabin Falls, and the Bushkill Falls.
