FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Oct. 23, 1890. 



parts of the stream, where they are hard to find; third, 

 our river is too much polluted with the offal of tbe coal 

 mines. At the present writing the river is nearly as black 

 as ink on the east side. The west side, below the Cone- 

 wago Fails, is polluted by the York Haven paper mill, as 

 all the refuse matter of that establishment is thrown into 

 the river: fourth, we do not seem to have one-tenth the 

 fish we had here five years ago. Then, at this time of the 

 year, one could see hundreds of young bass from two to 

 four inches long, while now it is rare to see one along the 

 shores. "Salmon" are just as scarce as the bass, one is 

 caught occasionally, and in moments of despondency I 

 sometimes think that fishing in our lovely river is practi- 

 cally played out.— J. T. Bare. 



AN INVESTMENT FOR A LIFE-TIME. 



THE American O-rocer has ihis to say about fishermen and a 

 fisherman's book— Mr. Samuel's "With Fly-Rod and Camera": 

 This Is a volume calculated to interest, instruct and amuse large 

 numbers with various tastes or hobbies, yet all lovers of nature. 

 It is difficult for one not by nature or acquisition an expert angler 

 to comprehend their enthusiasm for the sport, nor can we share 

 in the pleasure the narration of their experience affords. 



A New York millionaire, who rarely finds time for an outing, re- 

 turned from a fishing excursion in Canadian rivers, where he was 

 successful in landing a thirty-pound salmon, boiling over with 

 good feeling, declaring that he would give $1*000 for the repetition 

 of his experience in landing that salmon. Recentlv we yielded to 

 the enthusiasm of the parson, whose excitement in landing a 

 ('•"•(ii.s. black bass at Budd's Lake had not suhsided, accepting his 

 invitation to spend a day in seeking for another like experience. 

 Eleven hours in the broiling sun landing ey r ery now and then a 

 perch, catfish or "tunny," cooled our ardor but did not dampen 

 his. The true angler is never disheartened. One victory with fly- 

 rod, one proof of skill, will keep up bis courage for a life-time. 



The "true fly-fisher is ever satisfied with a moderate creel, and 

 is content with the scientific and skillful capture of a few good 

 fish. The beauties of nature, bs revealed in his surroundings, the 

 sparkling water, the shadow and sunshine, the rustling leaves, the 

 song of the birds, the hum of insects, the health-giving breeze," 

 the wooded lakes, studded with islands, or bordered by rocky 

 palisades, the running, merry, musical brook, or dashing moun- 

 tain stream, the quiet pools, are all so many passengers of joy and 

 comfort, bringing in their train health and pleasure. Thrice 

 blessed is the angler, who finds delight in a camera or has a 

 love for botany or the sciences generally. Then the flowers talk 

 with him and the rocks tell tales, and he is never solitary when in 

 search of "the gamy denizens of the rivers and lakes." 



H you cannot enjov the^e pleasures, or having enjoyed them, 

 are debarred from their repetition, then live the experience over 

 and over again, as you turn the pages of the elegant book noted 

 above. It is illustrated with 150 plates, made from photographs 

 taken by the author, whose admirable selections of subjects 

 deserve better treatment at the hands of the engraver. Some of 

 the reproductions are fine; others require the aid of a powerful 

 glass to reveal their charm. They show the wondrous beauty of 

 Canadian rivers, the lakes and streams of Maine, the scenery 

 about Cape Breton, views of camps, Indians, bunches of salmon, 

 sea trout, striped bass: iustaneous pictures of "Landing a Salmon:" 

 "Casting a Fly;" "Time for the Landing Net." One of the finest 

 is "The Upper Pool" on the Cascapedia and "Famous Salmon 

 Pool on the Margaree River, Cape Breton." 



The text is free from technical statements, containing many 

 descriptions of fish and their habits told in dialogue. The book is 

 of great value to the amateur, for it touches upon almost every 

 detail of fly-fishing, of camp' life, of experiences, excursions, 

 catKbes, exciting struggles, of difficulties encountered, numerous 

 victories won. the hard fisht, as when it required half an hour to 

 land a "togue" weighing 151bs., or the struggle with salmon, one 

 of which weighed ISlbs., the taking of thirty fine salmon by four 

 rods in three days on the Cascapedia. The habits of fish, method 

 of fishing, the tackle, the fly, the blunders of the inexperienced, 

 making the cast, and other important little things connected 

 with the angler's art are noted. 



This work is a splendid volume to place in the hands of the 

 youth, particularly such as show an inclination for angling, that 

 are fond of the forest and stream and who have an artistic side to 

 their nature which needs a little stimulus. It will prove an in- 

 vestment that will return au income throughout one's life. A 

 fine book is one of the best of companions, and "Fly-Rod and 

 Camera" is one that will he read aad re-read with pleasure. 



A YEARLING LANDLOCKED SALMON. 



AT the State hatchery at Sunapee Lake, New Hampshire, 

 small landlocked salmon frequently come from the 

 brook into the tanks in which breeding fish are kept. An 

 example 5}gln. long, which made its appearance Oct. 11, 1890, 

 showed the following color in life: Ground color, lemon- 

 yellow on the sides, the back with a faint tinge of olive; 15 

 to 20 reddish-orange roundish spots both above and below 

 the median line, the largest about % as big as the pupil: 

 nine parr marks, the deepest of them" scarcely longer than 

 the eye; five well defined saddle-shaped dark" bands across 

 the top of the back, all of them except the fifth continuing 

 downward into the parr marks; upper half of body and 

 head profusely black spotted, none of the spots much ex- 

 ceeding the pupil in size; two roundish black spots on the 

 gill cover; the dorsal fin with black spots in about three 

 series, those near the base of the fin largest and most dis- 

 tinct: the adipose fin has three large dusky blotches; the 

 tail fin is obliquely marked with long, narrow, dusky 

 blotches and with a dusky margin posteriorly, nearly as 

 wide as the eye; the under surface of the head and belly, as 

 far as the vent, are milky white; the pectoral, ventral and 

 anal fins suffused with pale yellow intermingled; with dusky 

 and with a narrow whitish margin in front. 



The position of the breast fins at certain times is peculiar, 

 the inner and terminal margins being raised up while the 

 anterior margin is depressed. This is more noticeable when 

 the fish is frightened. 



The increase of the landlocked salmon in Sunapee Lake is 

 very gratifying, and the size reached by this beautiful spe- 

 cies is a sure indication of the value of the landlocked smelt 

 as food for the larger Salmoividce. A salmou weighing 

 143^1bs. was taken during the past season by Mr. Walter 

 Aiken, and among the breeding fish are a number of ex- 

 amples exceeding lOlbs. in weight. 



MAS KINONGE HATCHERY FOR ONTARIO.— A pro- 

 ject is on foot, fathered by Mr. H. Calcutt, for the stocking of 

 the rivers and lakes in this district with maskinonge fry. 

 Mr. Calcutt intents circulating a petition asking the Govern- 

 ment to establish a hatchery in the Otonabee river or Rice 

 Lake, or any other suitable place, for the propagating of mas- 

 kinonge. Mr. Caicutt's idea is to inclose a portion of marsh 

 so as to prevent inroads from eels and large fish, and within 

 this inclosure place the spawn for hatching. At present the 

 great drawback to fish breeders is that bass and eels gobble 

 up nearly all the small fry before they are big enough to take 

 care of themselves. It is proposed to keep the fry in the 

 Otonabee hatchery for a year or so under the charge of Mr. 

 Gilchrist, Inspector, until they reach a fair size. Then they 

 may be turned into the river and Rice Lake, and transplanted 

 in Stony Lake and its tributaries. The cost of the thing 

 would be trifling, Inspector Gilchrist says he can easily pro- 

 cure all the spawn required, and the building of the inclosure 

 would be a small matter. The whole cost would be more than 

 defrayed by the fees paid by American sportsmen for the 

 privilege of fishing in these waters. The addition of a mil- 

 lion maskinonge fry every year would in the course of a 

 few years sensibly increase the value of our fishing grounds 

 and attract more visitors, while affording our own people 

 better sport. The minnows would not be set at liberty until 



they were the length of a finger, so tftat a very small propor- 

 tion would become prey for the larger fishes. The Govern- 

 ment encourages the breeding of whitefish and bass, but as 

 yet no attempt has been made to propagate maskinonge. It 

 is to be hoped Mr. Calcutt will be heartily supported in his 

 efforts toward this end. He has already'received consider- 

 able encouragement from the Minister of Marine and Fish- 

 eries, Hon. Mr. Tupper,who, during his visit to Peterborotigh 

 a few weeks ago, promised to give any such scheme his sup- 

 port. As the cost would be small, there is great hope that 

 the Government will establish the hatchery. Mr. Caicutt's 

 petition will be circulated in the town and county of Peter- 

 borough. All sportsmen will feel an interest in it* and those 

 devoted to piscatorial pleasures will be doubly interested in 

 the success of the appeal. The petition will, no doubt, be 

 warmly supported. — Peterborough (Ont.) Examiner.
