DISTRIBUTION OF FISH GOOD PLACES. 257 



Nevada line, is a large body of very clear water, containing 

 an abundance of Tahoe trout, which are also found in some 

 of the other lakes. 



Leaving Uncle Sam's country and going up into British 

 Columbia, we find some of the finest fishing to be had any- 

 where. The best salmon fishing is found in the salt water 

 where the waters are protected by the many islands. Per- 

 haps the best place in the world for the Pacific salmon is in 

 the Campbell river, on Vancouver Island. The northern 

 lakes are stocked with whitefish and trout of many kinds 

 abound in the inland rivers and lakes. 



Trout are found also in parts of Alberta and Saskatche- 

 wan, but in these provinces as well as in Manitoba it is the 

 whitefish that is the most important. It is not a game fish, 

 but is a food fish of the highest rank. Pike are also found 

 there and in the lower part of Manitoba black bass are found. 



Ontario is the greatest fresh water angler's field of 

 Canada. Here the brook trout is found in almost incredible 

 numbers, and its trout waters, especially Nipigon river and 

 lake ,are world famous. There is also excellent musky 

 fishing in the waters adjacent to Lake Huron and black 

 bass are also plentiful. Pike are found in many of the 

 lakes and reach a large size. Some of the most noted 

 waters are Nipigon, Kawartha Lakes, Muskoka Lakes, Tema- 

 gami (for lake trout), Lake of Bays, the waters of the 

 Algonquin Park, etc. 



Quebec offers fine fishing also, especially in the St. 

 Lawrence and adjacent waters. Good salmon fishing is to 

 be had in the rivers of the north shore of the Gulf of St 

 Lawrence. 



New Brunswick is noted for its trout and salmon fish- 

 ing, and is probably the same in this respect as Newfound- 

 land. Both places are much visited by non-resident anglers.
