THE CANADIAN LAKES AND STEEAM8 



Bathurst Lake, Miramiclu Eiver and many more, tlie very 

 names of which recall by-gone delights with the rod to hundreds 

 of Englishmen and Americans who for years have fished these 

 glorious rivers and lakes. 



Going west and crossing the Ottawa Eiver, we come to the 

 Province of Ontiario, a magnificent angling region with rivers, 

 lakes and streams without end. The Gatineau lakes, Pemachonga, 

 Thirty-one Mile Lake, White Fish Lake are all famous in the 

 annals of sport for its bass, muscallunge, pickerel, dor6 and trout. 



I can but mention a few of the fine lakes of Ontario which 

 have a lure for the angler : Lake Nipissing, Lake Temagaming, the 

 Black, Steel and Kenogami rivers, Kawartha and Eideau lakes, 

 and Georgian Bay. The scenery in Algonquin National Park, 

 Ontario, is extremely beautiful, and the fly fishing in such rivers 

 as the Madawaska a delight to the angler. The park is not as 

 well known as it should be, lying north of Toronto and north-east 

 of the Muskoka Lakes, an angler's paradise oi a million and a half 

 acres, for which Canadian anglers are indebted to the Hon. 

 Arthur S. Hardy. The Park Gateway is Cache Lake, one of 

 hundreds in this play-ground of Canada, one of the finest trout 

 preserves in the world. 



The angler in his Canadian trip should not fail to visit the 

 country north of Toronto between Georgian Bay and the Ottawa 

 Eiver, Muskoka and other lakes and streams in the highlands of 

 Ontario. Here are two high lakes and three systems or groups 

 of many lakes, Simcoe, Georgian Bay, Severn Eiver, French 

 Eiver, Kawarth Lakes, the Lake of Bays, Muskoka and its Falls 

 of Bola, Lake Joseph, Eosseau and countless others, with varied 

 angling interests, the mere consideration of which would fill 

 volumes. One turns from them with regret, Magnetewan, Burkes 

 Falls, Lake Ohmie, Wa-Wa-Kesh and many more. 



Pushing into the west, the angler reaches the region of the 

 Canadian Eockies, a wonderland of the world, with Bamf and 

 Lake Louise as central attractions. Beautiful and countless 

 lakes and streams commend themselves to the angler and
