and the Maritime Provinces. 401 



May around the shore as soon as the ice breaks up, and later, are taken 

 with the fly, principally at the outlet of the lake, called the "Grand Dis- 

 charge." Here in the rapids and wild eddies the fish give great sport, and 

 the angler who captures ten or a dozen in a day, feels well repaid for the 

 long journey he has taken to get them. 



There are also other points at which the ouananiche are taken with 

 the fly, notably in some of the tributaries of the lake. The writer has 

 been reasonably successful at a place called St. Felicienne, a dozen or 

 more miles from Roberval, and there are other places quite as good, but 

 not as accessible. 



Near St. John, N. B., are several lakes and large ponds, in which good 

 trout fishing is found. Among these Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond, and 

 Taylor's lake are the best. They are reached by carriage from the city, 

 and are a favorite resort with the citizens. Anglers also find in them land- 

 locked salmon, called "salmon trout," or sometimes "grayling," but they 

 are identically the same fish as those caught in the Schoodic lakes. Con- 

 siderable numbers are also caught in the Folly lakes, on the railroad line 

 between Truro and Halifax. 



From St. John to Shediac there is nothing to greatly interest the 

 sportsman or angler. The railroad passes through a number of good-sized 

 towns, the most important of which is Moncton ; but the country is level, 

 and without special attractions for the tourist. 



At Shediac there is, in June, some sea-trout fishing, and an occasional 

 salmon is also taken, but the angler will hardly find it advisable to spend 

 much time there. At Point-du-Chene, near Shediac, the train connects 

 with one of the steamers which cross the Strait of Northumberland for 

 Prince Edward island, landing at Summerside or Charlottetown. A few 

 miles from Summerside, in the Dunk river, sea trout and a few salmon are 

 taken. Within a few years the stream has been restocked with the last- 

 named fish, of which it had become depleted, and it will probably soon 

 become once more a valuable river. 



The train from Summerside to Charlottetown passes a number of 

 ponds and small streams, in some of which spotted trout are abundant. 

 A most desirable point to reach is Malpeque, on the north shore of the 

 island. The railroad runs to within a few miles of the place, and the jour- 

 ney is completed by private conveyance. At Malpeque one can obtain 

 good accommodations at one of the farmhouses, and he will find in an outing 

 there a most satisfactory share of sport. There is good sea-trout fishing 

 near at hand, and spotted trout abound in some of the ponds and brooks in 

 the neighborhood. Woodcock are found in the swamps, and the shore-bird 

 shooting at about the 20th of August is unexcelled. Golden plover and 

 black-breasted plover arrive sometimes in immense flocks, and the sports- 

 man, lying in a pit dug in the sand, has over his decoys, opportunities for
