tainly can! And by one tiny brown 
fly. Is it in your collection? If not 
prepare yourself at East Outlet for the 
tortures of a Tantalus, for the fish are 
there. You will see them, as you have 
never before seen trout jump at even- 
ing; but without the small talisman, 
they are not for you. 
In the daytime, too, comes intensified 
realization that though many are there 
comparatively few are taken. It is 
Charles Kingsley, that real sportsman 
of the fifties, who so beautifully de- 
scribed fishing as possessed of “an al- 
most spiritual charm in the pursuit of 
an invisible object.” But the baffling 
character of the fishing at East Outlet 
lies in the fact that the fish are visible. 
To look down into the pools beside 
the swift current is to see a sight dis- 
turbing even to the calm nerves of an 
Izaak Walton. Trout three feet long; 
salmon up to five pounds in weight; 
huge white-fish move placidly about in 
their watery parlors. A fisherman’s 
treasure-chest, but the key is lost. 
At his first cast the fisherman feels 
like a Herod; what can prevent a mas- 
sacre of the innocents? Stay a mo- 
ment. The purposed Armageddon of 
trout and salmon does not occur. 
Worms? No, sir. Live shiners? No, 
thank you. Grasshoppers? Well, hard- 
ly. These aristocrats apparently will 
not bite. At the end of a morning’s 
fishing the neophyte is convinced that 
they never eat. But they will bite; how 
is the touchstone of your skill. Find 
out the way for yourself. 
But something more than the full 
creel may be found at Moosehead, and 
that has already been sentimentally de- 
scribed by the writer of this letter — 
the inexplicable something brought to 
the spirit in the solitude of Nature. It 
is something to watch the strutty little 
steamer, Katahdin, push the boom 
through the locks, or to see the young 
salmon leap the falls, but it is more, 
much more to behold the far-flung line 
of stars above the Kennebec pines, or 
to glimpse in the distance the faint 
Canadian hills, and to feel their peace 
creep into the soul. 
when you make that cast — 
does your line slide out — smooth and 
fast — and strike that pool you’re after 
as accurately as a well-aimed bullet 
does its mark? It will if you, use a

wheresoever it led me. 
In the meantime I Eb'egan to hear that 
there were a few trout in a certain 
stream only five or six miles from my 
own home. At first I did not place 
much credence in these reports, but as I 
kept on hearing them, my curiosity at 
last got the better of me, and so one day 
I paid my respects to the stream.- This 
first visit encouraged me to make sev- 
eral more, when, finding out by this 
time the fishing possibilities of the 
stream, I got a friend interested in it 
and we began to restock it with rainbow 
trout supplied by the National Gov- 
ernment from one of its hatcheries near 
our own homes. Eventually it afforded
