340 SALMON FISHING IN CANADA. 



SALMON AND SEA-TEOUT FISHEKIES OF LOWER 

 CANADA. 



THE following list includes the principal salmon rivers and sea- 

 trout streams which discharge into the Saint Lawrence and 

 Saguenay Rivers, along the north-east or Labrador coast, between 

 the province boundary eastwards (Blanc Sablon), and the River 

 Jacques Cartier, above Quebec ; also those emptying upon the 

 south or eastern shore of the Saint Lawrence, and others flowing 

 easterly into the Bay of Chaleurs, emphasising the Crown 

 rivers, now open to public sale, and so mentioned in the accom- 

 panying advertisement. 



In addition there are many other bay, cove and inlet stations 

 along these extensive coasts, but which are disposable chiefly as 

 sedentary net-fishings for salmon and trout. 



The immediate expiry of the lease of that vast territory 

 commonly known as ' The King's Posts," opens up to public 

 competition numerous valuable coast fisheries (such as Tadousac, 

 Seven Islands &c.), besides many famous salmon rivers and sea- 

 trout streams, and renders disposable certain commodious building 

 establishments long occupied as fur-trading posts,by the Honour- 

 able Hudson's Bay Company, at the mouths of the most important 

 of these fine rivers.
