GREAT TROUT LAKES 233 



The Columbia River also flows through the 

 Quesnel northern district, south of Canoe River, 

 traversing hundreds of miles. Its course lies through 

 Golden, Windermere, East Kootenay and Nelson, an 

 interminable stretch of water. 



Kootenay and Okanagan Rivers offer further 

 angling facilities, as well as the Skeena and Eagle. 



The Great Lake trout can be caught trolling, and 

 battle royals can be had with fifteen and twenty 

 pounders in the Shuswap, Kootenay and Kamloops 

 lakes. There the formidable steel-head trout of the 

 Salmonidae order is discovered, as well as the larger 

 specimens of the Salmo kamloops^ or Dolly Varden. 

 These fish, like our European Salmo fario^ affect 

 cannibal habits on reaching the years of discretion 

 and scorn the fly.
