CANOEING DOWN 
THE NEMEKAGON 
(continued from page 365) 
from the right, Regan Brook, which we 
thought might contain trout but found 
none, and we prepared dinner upon its 
banks beneath two beautiful hemlock 
trees. Not a great ways below our noon- 
tide camp we came to a highway bridge 
and, upon investigating, found the town 
of Earl, about half a mile to the left. 
We also found some more ice-cream and 
laid in a few needed supplies. 
It took us considerably less than an 
hour from the Earl bridge to the railway 
bridge which spans the river north of 
Trego. Leaving our canoe we walked 
down the track to the town where we ex- 
pected and received mail. Learning that 
all was well at home, we soon were back 
on the river and searching for a camp 
site. Always the finding of a suitable 
camping spot was a difficult matter; and 
long and loud were our discussions over 
the merits and demerits of any given lo- 
cation. We went into camp perhaps some 
two miles below Trego, on lowland upon 
the left bank. It was not a pleasant 
camp, but after supper we caught two 
wall-eyes and one small-mouth without 
much trouble. We were where such fish 
were numerous and from that day for- 
ward had but to cast a few times in order 
to provide a meal, and trout were to be 
taken from almost every confluent. 
It never is the part of wisdom to camp 
on lowland, and that night was no ex- 
ception to the rule. Long before day- 
light the chill and damp had penetrated 
even two heavy blankets and we shivered 
in misery; therefore it fell out that we 
lingered in bed long after sun-up, making 
up lost sleep. While we were preparing 
breakfast — and we took time to cook a 
good substantial meal to overcome the 
memory of a bad night, flap-jacks and 
bacon, not to mention the good rich cof- 
fee — we made a solemn resolution, one 
that we observed thereafter, always to 
camp on high ground even if the doing so 
entailed much trouble and effort. It is 
better far to climb a high bluff, packing 
the whole outfit, than to camp close to the 
water on damp ground. 
Not a great ways below our camp — 
about one hour from Trego — we ran into 
Big Bull Rapids, a stretch of water we 
had been warned against; but found 
them merely delightful, a good depth of 
water and few submerged rocks. Here 
and there black-faced rascals loomed 
above the surface, the water snarling 
about them ominously, but we only 
laughed in their faces. Below Big Bull, 
rapid followed rapid constantly; we were 
either in the dead water just above or 
running through all the time. None of 
the rapids were bad, though one had to 
keep a weather eye out for submerged 
rocks; there were plenty of them. That 
stretch of water should offer good fly- 
fishing for small-mouth; we saw them 
swirling everywhere close in shore, ap- 
parently taking insects that fell in from 
the leaning grass. And any one at all 
acquainted with the ways of the small- 
mouth knows that the water was ideal 
for fly-fishing
