BOOK of the BLACK BASS 
By JAMES A. HENSHALL, M. D. 
410 llluitrations. Net $2.00 This new edition is revised to date 
and largely re-written. Contains 
“Book of the Black Bass’’ and “More 
About the Black Bass.’’ Comprising 
its complete scientific and life history, 
together with a practical treatise on 
Angling and Fly-Fishing, with a full 
account of tools, implements, and 
tackle. 
“The angling portion of the book is, 
without doubt, the best thing ever 
written upon these fishes. It is clear, 
and covers the whole ground of the 
different modes of fishing, and is ac- 
companied by cuts of the manner of 
holding the rod, castings, and diagrams 
of the mode of throwing the fiy so 
that it seems to us as if the merest 
tyro could soon become an expert by 
carefully reading this book and fol- 
lowing its instructions. Not only is 
it a book for the beginner, but it is 
one that no angler can afford to do 
without . — Forest and Stream.

THE COST OF FISHING 
(continued FRflM PAGE 294) 
into some of the rapids of the Nipigon 
would end your fishing trips for all time. 
S uppose we describe a trip on the 
French River from Pickerel Land- 
ing up to Lake Nipissing. 
This is a trip embracing several levels 
of quiet, rock bordered, pine fringed 
river, hitched together by links of foam- 
ing rapids. 
It should be made by two people in a 
canoe. Leaving Pickerel Landing you 
start up river. Going by map and com- 
pass you will meet enough people to di- 
rect you over the few portages around 
the rapids you will find. Each time you 
start up river from rapids, mark the 
place carefully for the next half mile 
! by landmarks that you can remember 
coming down on your return, so you will 
not miss the portage. 
This trip will put you over fishing 
water that will yield you small mouth 
bass, wall-eyed pike, northern pike, all 
of nice size, and perhaps, if you are 
very clever, a good muskellunge or two. 
This trip on the French River is for 
competent canoe men. 
If you want to fish Lake Nipissing, 
just go to Sturgeon Falls; rent a row- 
boat and have the steamer tow you down 
' towards the French River and tell the 
captain to direct you to the West Arm. 
You can’t get lost here, as there are 
lots of people on the waters and the 
I steamer will tow you back to Sturgeon 
Falls when your trip is over. 
It can be said for the West Arm of 
Lake Nipissing that there are some very 
' large muskellunge caught there and you 
can catch all the bass and pike you will 
be able to carry. 
The West Arm is a great, island 
studded lake all on one level and devoid 
therefore of danger spots, and Sturgeon 
Falls is reached by the Canadian Pa- 
cific Railroad. 
There is every reason to believe a fine 
trip can be made there for $60 per per- 
son, including all expenses. 
Suppose we now turn our attention to 
the peerless Nipigon, that whirl of white 
I water, where the great big trout live. 
A ten-day trip on the Nipigon for two 
people including the license costs $150 
each. Add to this the cost of your rail- 
road fare to Nipigon City and you have 
the total amount necessary. 
This will take you over this great 
trout river in fine style, fully equipped 
in two big strong canoes manned by two 
Indians each. 
Take a look at some of this Nipigon 
white water and you will not wonder 
why two guides are necessary to bring 
you alive through the rapids. 
Yet there remains the chance to see 
this river, to prowl along shore and to 
catch your fill of the great trout from 
the bank, if you care to. 
Even when you go there with guides 
you catch many fish from the shore, so 
take your pup tent, go to the Nipigon, 
get to the head of the river at the Vir- 
gin Falls and fish the upper ten miles 
on foot, then dream about it the rest of 
your life. It should cost about forty
