21 Jib., 221b., the thirteen-and-a-half pounder being 

 foul-hooked in the shoulder and giving a long fight. 

 On the 13th, two rods landed fish of Sib., 141b., 181b., 

 20Jlb., 91b., 131b., 141b., 171b,, ITjlb., 191b., and 

 241b., the last being the largest Salmo ferox up to the 

 present time. The next day the same two bagged 

 fish of 151b. ? 91b., lOlb., 121b., 121b., lllb., lljlb., 

 2ilb., 2Jlb., 181b., 181b., lllb., 121b., 121b., 141b., 

 211b., 61b., 131b., and 9Jlb. On July 22, Mr. J. Murphy 

 landed trout of 171b., 171b., 141b., lllb., 7 Jib., 7 Jib.*, 

 81b., and 6Jlb., making in all a total weight for the 

 day of 88Jlb., and the next day 72jlb., and the 25th, 

 8 4 Jib., the largest trout weighing just 201b. The 

 total for 1879 was 336 lokhi, or lake trout, weighing 

 the enormous amount of 2,8951b., all caught fairly 

 with rod and line, besides smaller innumerable trout 

 and grayling. With regard to the baits used, the 

 phantom was often preferred, but the fly was fre-

 hook or two, made of the skin of a small fish fre- 

 quenting the lake in shoals. 



In 1880, after many good days, we find that A. E. 

 A., on July 11, caught lokhi of the following weights: 

 201b., 161b., 141b., 13jlb., lljlb. (caught in the 

 rapid), lllb., lOlb., lOlb., lOlb., lOlb., and 81b. ; and 

 the same day and place, H. M. A., of 7jlb., 161b., 

 13 jib., 91b., and four weighing 61b. ; and C. G., of 

 71b., and two weighing 31b. ; and E. T., of lOlb. and 

 91b., and three weighing 41b. The total for 1880 was 

 300 great lake trout averaging almost lolb. apiece,
