DISTRIBUTION OF FISH GOOD PLACES. 255 



These mountains have many lakes and streams that are filled 

 with trout, and some lakes contain lake trout or salmon 

 trout as they are called there. There is also very good fish- 

 ing for a varied line of fish in the group of lakes in the 

 central part of the state. In the St. Lawrence, about the 

 Thousand Islands, there is good black bass fishing, and 

 muskys are also found. 



Large fish are seldom taken in Pennsylvania, but small 

 brook trout are abundant in the mountain streams. In all 

 of the central, northern and northeastern parts good trout 

 fishing may be had. Black bass are also found and are proba- 

 bly most abundant in the southeastern and northwestern 

 parts. 



Down in West Virginia there is also some good angling, 

 perhaps the best is in the eastern part of the state, in the 

 Greenbrier, Cheat, and Tygerts Valley rivers, where trout 

 and bass are found. 



Kentucky is full of good fishing streams. It was in this 

 state that angling for black bass was first raised from its 

 original level with angling for bottom fish. 



Florida is an angler's Paradise. Very large black bass, 

 the large mouthed kind, are found there, as well as many 

 other fresh water fish. Perhaps the best region, anyway one 

 of the best, is in Lake County. I am not speaking of the salt 

 water fishing here, but there is no finer fishing of that kind 

 to be had anywhere than along the Florida coast. 



In Ohio black bass are found in nearly all streams, also 

 other fish of various kinds. The most popular resorts are 

 the artificial lakes known as Buckeye Lake, Indian Lake, 

 Six Mile Reservior and Grand Reservior. The fish are 

 large mouthed black bass, perch and sunfish of several kinds. 



In Indiana and Illinois there are many good fishing 

 streams and lakes, containing black bass, pike, pickerel, cat 

 fish, carp and crappies. All in all, perhaps one stream is as 

 good as another.
