JEaseob County — 



The northeastern corner of Vermont is comparatively a wilderness, several 

 townships being entirely without population, and a number of the organized, 

 cleared and populated chiefly in the valley of the Connecticut River. In fact a 

 greater portion of Essex county is forest. It is well watered by lakes and ponds, 

 some of which are miles in length ; all contain fish, the largest ponds, the lake 

 trout, (called here lunge,) the brook trout and shad waiters, a sort of whitefish ; 

 the smaller ponds, trout or pickerel. In one of the lakes, tne " Averil," where 

 the largest speckled trout are caught, are also found land-locked salmon. 



The lake trout are of a large size, sometimes taken upward of thirty pounds, 

 but generally from one to seven pounds. In the woods are found a few moose, an 

 abundance of deer, rabbits, partridge and duck, occasionally a bear and lynx ; 

 otter, muskrat, mink, sable and black cats are quite plenty. Grey squirrels are 

 but rarely found. By taking the Grand Trunk Railroad and leaving the line at 

 Island Pond or any other of the stations in the county, the sportsman will find 

 the gaipe mentioned within accessible distances.
