of fish, and the rod that is ready will reap the 
reward, 
Three miles east of the last-named river is 
the Minacougan. The fishing waters extend 
for but half a mile, but in that distance there 
are at least five good pools. Fishing is either 
from a canoe or from the shore. A good harbor 
exists near the mouth. 
The Little Watischon, eight miles farther 
east, is large enough for two or three rods. 
But the best sport is over by the end of July, 
though there are great quantities of trout in the 
river all through the summer. 
A stretch of twenty miles extends between 
the little Watischon and the Mapissipi. This 
stream has been little fished, but is netted, and 
yields sometimes 500 salmon, so there should 
- be some fishing. The salmon run to a good 
size, occasionally up to thirty pounds. There 
is no harbor, but fine camping grounds are near 
the pools. 
The Agwanis is the last river on my list. It 
is eight miles from the Mapissipi. It is prac- 
tically unknown except in its lower reaches, but 
must be capable of a great yield, as the nets 
account for at least 600 salmon a season, and 
some years many more. 
Fishermen going to this coast should under- 
stand that, except at Mingan (leased), there 
are no accommodations whatever. All must 
either camp out or live aboard. Wages are 
very low, the best men asking but $1.50 a day. 
It is usual to take canoemen from the Saguenay, 
as well as canoes. There are telegraph and 
post offices at nearly all the rivers, as the 
Dominion maintains a telegraph line running 
to Belle Isle, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence. 
There are three mails a month along the coast. 
There is, of course, most excellent wildfowl-

shooting all along this shore later in the season, 
but this does not come under the heading I 
have chosen for this article. Perhaps, if the 
editor gives his sanction, I may in some future 
issue give a few hints as to the best places for 
duck and other shooting.

every way.
