TROUT-FISHING IN THE EBGIONS OF LAKE 

 SUPERIOR. 



THIRD NOONING. 

 [After the Roast. — Present : Norman, Morry, and Nestor.] 



Norman. You say, Nestor, that you have been to Lake 

 Superior, and that there is fine fishing there. 



Nestor. I have never been farther than the little town of 

 St. Mary, which is at the "Sault," the outlet of the lake. I 

 have fished there for Trout, but that was twenty years ago. 

 Several of my friends have visited Lake Superior since the 

 canal around the rapids has been completed, and have had fine 

 sport. Boats leave Buffalo and Detroit every week during the 

 summer for the towns that have sprung up on Lake Superior 

 since the copper region has been opened, and, from what I 

 can learn, the trip would richly repay an angler, who would 

 bundle his rods and pack up his traps, and depart about the 

 1st of June for that beautiful country. I had a talk with my 

 friend Roberts after his return three years ago. He had fine 

 sport during the month of June in the rapids at Sault Ste. 

 Marie, and wherever he stayed for a few days on Lake Supe- 

 rior. I have a pasteboard profile of a Brook Trout, which 

 he gave me, hanging against my wall, at home, with this 

 note on it :* "Taken by J. E. Cady, of St. Mary, Michigan, 



* A repetition of this same memorandum appears on page 204 ; as this 

 is an account of the Trout-fishing of that part of the country I reinsert 

 it here.
