they are not in sufficient quantities to recompense 

 an angler that has crossed the Atlantic to fish. In 

 other words, they are " flogged out." 



If sea trout fishing be desired — and you are at the 

 first base of operations — proceed to Tadousac, north 

 of the river Saguenay. This is some distance below 

 Quebec. From there, all along the north coast of 

 the St. Lawrence, wherever a stream or rivulet 

 flows into it, you may have such sport with this 

 gamest and most beautiful of fish as you never con- 

 templated before, or are you likely to obtain again in 

 any other part of the world. 



Norway, excellent as it is for fishing purposes, is 

 simply not in it as regards the taking of this prince 

 of the Sahnonidce family. The Hon. Robert 

 Roosvtlt, late United States Mir'ster at the Hague, 

 has written a very charming book, in which his 

 experiences of where I write of, are recounted. The 

 work is full of information on every subject interesting 

 to the visitor. It is well worth procuring, and any 

 London publisher with a connection in New York 

 can get it for you. 



Having said so much, let the traveller retrace his 

 steps to Quebec with the intention of visiting the 

 country north of it, which abounds in lakes and 

 rivers, many of which can be seen from the train. 

 After passing River a Pierre, nearly sixty miles from 

 the capital, an absolutely unbroken wilderness lies 

 before you, covering an area of over 15,000 square 

 miles, and through it, wherever you direct your steps, 

 will be discovered waters abund ntly stocked with 

 trout and char of different species. Lake St. John, 

 from whence the river Saguenay takes its source, is 

 well supplied with land-locked salmon, white fish, 

 and coarser species, but Lake Edward, which is south 

 from the last mentioned, with all its numerous feeders, 

 is to be described as simply a grand trout water. 

 The scenery surrounding this lake is charming,
