RECREATION. 



must be hauled away from danger, if pos- 

 sible, before he finds out what the trouble 

 was, and begins to run. When he would 

 not come, as was not infrequently the case, 

 things happened, and happened fast. More 

 than once I stopped a pound fish, in his 

 first mad rush toward a submerged cedar 

 top, by sheer strength of rod, line and 

 leader, and more than once I did not; but 

 the 6-ounce rod, and the little No. 10 flut- 

 tering flies did good work all through, and 

 not a fish was lost by failure of tackle. 

 One must camp to fish either river to 



good advantage, and excellent guides and 

 camp outfits can be had in Grayling, though 

 arrangements should be made well in ad- 

 vance. 



On these rivers the fish, when boated, 

 are put into a box under the angler's seat, 

 which communicates freely with the river. 

 Those not needed for immediate use are 

 kept alive in a fish crate of slats, so that 

 they are in perfect condition to take home ; 

 that is, if one be a resident of Michigan. 

 The law prohibits the taking of fish or game 

 out of the State.
