OTHEE FISH AND GAME 



THE ouananiche is not by any means the only game 

 fish in the waters in which it is found. In many of 

 the Northern lakes from which it is taken, especially 

 in Tschotagama, Manouan, and Lac a Jim, and in some 

 few of the streams to which it resorts, trout also 

 abound, both namaycush and fontinalis. Only in 

 lakes, however, where the trolling is better than the fly- 

 fishing, can both trout and ouananiche be successfully 

 fished together. There are a few exceptions, as in the 

 case of portions of the Little Peribonca, and I have 

 taken a trout and a ouananiche upon the same cast in 

 the Grande Decharge, each about three-quarters of a 

 pound in weight. This is one of the very few cases 

 upon record in which this has been done in this north 

 country, and in many years' experience in the De- 

 charge I have only taken one other trout there. 

 Sometimes the catch of two or three is reported 

 here in the course of a season. In other years none 

 at all are taken. This is the more remarkable from 

 the large number and extent of the trout waters which 

 are drained into Lake St. John from every point of 

 the compass.
