256 OTHER FISH AND GAMt 



which leads to the colonization road brings the angler 

 to Bayard's, and three days' paddling and poling and 

 portaging thence up the Jacques Cartier Eiver ena- 

 ble him to cover the distance intervening between 

 Bayard's and the big lake. The southern limit of the 

 National Park is crossed a mile or two above Bay- 

 ard's, which is simply one of the last farm-houses seen 

 before civilization is left behind. Here, upon presenta- 

 tion of the government permit, obtained in Quebec, 

 to the guardian on duty, guides, canoes, and supplies 

 can be obtained. Upon this route it is not necessary 

 to ascend to the big lake in order to have good sport. 

 Twelve miles above Bayard's is the Sautoriski Eiver. 

 At various points along this highly picturesque stream, 

 and particularly in a favored pool three miles from its 

 mouth, lurk beautiful fish from half a pound to three 

 pounds and a half each in weight, and doughty war- 

 riors they are, too. Mr. Joseph E. Vincent, to whom 

 I am indebted for the photographic views of the 

 Jacques Cartier employed in some of the accom- 

 panying illustrations, has frequently killed half a 

 hundred fine fish here in a morning's or an evening's 

 fishing. 



The rapids of the Jacques Cartier are magnificently 

 wild, particularly those of VEau Frwppante, le Eemous 

 Boncle, les Rajpides du Bouleau, the Sautoriski rapids, 

 and those of the Grand Portage. In a pretty pool 

 between the Sautoriski rapids and the Little Portage, 

 in one of the last days of September, 1895, 1 took over 

 three dozen trout in less than an hour, and my guides, 

 Joe Isabel and Jacques Filion, were kept pretty busy 

 with the landing-net.
