CHAPTER XIII. 



WHERE ARK THEY ? 



ESPECTING the whereabouts of the finny family, 

 we had almost said they are everywhere ; but we 

 recall to mind the fact that water-farming is not 

 universally practised. When the raising of fish 

 shall have become as common as the propagation 

 of other stock, the above reply may be made, and the wild 

 and mountainous regions with their black flies, oils, camphor, 

 ammonia, veils, tobacco, and smudge-smoke, will be unknown 

 except to the daring tourist or enthusiastic artist. That is 

 contemplating the time which is not far distant, when the 

 rivers and brooks that dash and foam nearer to civilization 

 shall again teem with the spotted beauties and the silver- 

 sided salmon. 



Without the intention of guiding the angler to all the 

 places of resort, a few of the most prominent will be given, 

 leaving the particulars to books adapted to the purpose, such 

 as the " Tourist's Guide," * which should be altered from time 

 to time as the routes, rates of fare, guides, and proprietors of 

 places of resort change. To begin, then : 



JACKSONVILLE, ST. AUGUSTINE, AND TALLAHASSEE, 



are the principal Southern points, while the whole range of 



towns and cities situated on the Gulf of Mexico, including 



* See "Hallock's Fishing Tourist. "
