BOUT the 30th of May in the river Eestigouche 

 and kindred Bay Chaleur streams, and perhaps 

 three weeks later for the Lower St. Lawrence, 

 is the time when the wide-awake professional angler 

 will get on to a stream. For thirty years past it was 

 necessary for residents of the United States to go to 

 Canada for their salmon fishing ; and indeed they 

 go there now more than ever ; but thanks to the 

 persistent efforts of the Fish Commission, the streams 

 of Maine are once more available. Both branches of 

 the Penobscot, the Wassatoonoch, the Mattewam- 

 keag, and the tributaries of the Sebago and Weld's 

 Pond, are especially mentioned as being quite re- 

 stored and furnishing good sport to the angler,
