SOME FISH AND SOME FISHING 



when there is so much that is interesting to 

 observe both in bird and in plant life. 



The solitude on the Canadian rivers is 

 broken by the pleasant sound of running 

 waters, the note of a king-fisher or the drum- 

 ming of a partridge, and the typical clink- 

 ing sound of iron-shod canoe poles as a 

 canoe is driven up stream. 



GAME FISH 



From the standpoint of a fisherman I 

 divide game fish into two classes namely, 

 the forked-tailed and the square-tailed fishes. 



The former travel great distances, swim 

 rapidly, and are nearly all surface feeders 

 and strong surface fighters. 



The latter dwell on the bottom, are bot- 

 tom feeders, and generally have a local 

 habitat. 



The forked tail has been given to the 

 swordfish, tarpon, bonefish, bluefish, spear- 

 fish, dolphin, and all the pampano, herring, 

 and mackerel tribes.
