Quebec Cottnty — 



Tontari Lakes. Valcartter, some fifteen miles from Quebec, is the farthest 

 settlement north of the St. Lawrence. Here commence those vast forests and 

 mountain ranges that extend to the Hudson's Bay. Throughout its entire length 

 this region is intersected by numberless lakes and rapid shallow rivers. In t!iis 

 primeval wilderness moose and caribou abound, while every lake and stream 

 IS filled with trout. The smaller fur-bearing animals are also numerous. 



The few remaining Indians in autumn strike far into the interior, to return in 

 the spring laden with the proceeds of their rifles and traps. Occasional parties 

 /rom Quebec, under the guidance of some Indian, make short excursions to the 

 lakes, and return with glowing accounts of the abundance' of game and the wild 

 and beautiful scenery everywhere met with. These trips are usually made in' 

 summer or early autumn. At Valcartier Mr. Charles Wolff will welcome all 

 sportsmen and secure all guides for the Tontari Lakes. They are one and a half 

 day's journey from this settlement. Lake Tontari. four miles in length, affords 

 very fine fly fishing. The fish here average a pound in weight. 



Belle^ Trinity and Peche a Maicolm^ reached from Valcartier, are good fishing 

 localities. 



Montmorency Falls. The Montmorency River is a fine stream for trout, espe- 

 cially at the junction of the Snow River. Distant six miles from Quebec. 



Valcartier. In the vicinity are found partridges, pigeons, ducks, hares. 

 Seventeen miles from Quebec. 



Siehelieu County — 



Sorel is reached by steamer from Montreal or Quebec. There is good snipe, 

 plover and wild goose shooting on Crane Island, in the spring and autumn. 



Mimo'uaJci County— 



St. Maurice District. The innumerable lakes of the Laurentian hills abound 

 in trout. The Lake A I'eau Claire is especially famed for its beauty and the 

 size and abundance of its fish. This lake draws tribute from fifteen others all full 

 of fish, and its outlet mingles, three miles from the lake, with the Riviere du 

 Loupenhaut, a river stretcMng back from Lake St. Peter into the Lauvertides 

 one hundred miles or more. The lakes tributary to this stream are numbered by 

 hundreds, of all sizes, and with few exceptions those on the east side of the rive 

 swarm with the brook trout. 



This river, with its tributaries, is but a fraction of the St. Maurice Territory 

 as yet almost a terra incognita to the angler. The Matawan, Shawenegan, Ma- 

 chichi, Maskinonge and I/Assomption are all full offish. 



Rimouski. Good salmon angling' in the Rimouski and Metis Rivers. Reached 

 via the Inter-colonial Railway or via boat from Quebec. 



The Saguenay Country — 



The tributaries of the Saguenay River nearly all contain salmon. Some are 

 jeased. The Marguerite is the best river ; it is underlease. Sea trout are caught 

 from the middle of June until the ist of August in the lower part of the river. 

 The early run is found at the bar oppcsite the mouth of the river. Later they are 

 found as high as fifteen miles up. Excellent hotel accommodation at Tadousac. 



Chicontimi Falls^ a series of rough rapids at the outlet of Lake St.'John, soma 

 eighty miles up the river, and twenty miles above the village of Chicontimi, 

 where are comtortable taverns. 



The Falls comprise two divisions, separated by an island, and are known as 

 the Petite Discharge and Grand Discharge. This place is celebrated for its land- 

 locked salmon, (locally called winninnish, or ouininish). About the middle of
