Many of the best fishing waters already mentioned 

 are entirely controlled by private clubs. The angling 

 in the Jeannotte belongs to the Orleans Fish and

 lake Moise, and numerous other lakes and streams, to 

 the Triton Fish and Game Club. The Stadacona and 

 Laurentide Clubs, of Quebec, own waters containing 

 very large fish, within easy reach of the Quebec & 

 Lake St. John Railway; the magnificent angling in 

 the Ouiatchouan is leased to the Ouiatchouan Fish 

 and Game Club ; the Laurentian Club, which contains 

 many New Yorkers in its membership, owns much

 the St. Maurice, while the fishing of the Nepigon is 

 the property of the Government of Ontario, which 

 charges a license fee of $5 to residents of Canada, and 

 of $10 to non-residents, for the right to two weeks' an- 

 gling. The fishing in Lake Edward is virtually free to 

 everybody, for it is leased by the proprietor of the 

 hotel there for the accommodation of his guests, and

 lake shore controlled by its management. Charges 

 for hotel and guides are quite reasonable.
