NEWFOUNDLAND 
A Country of Fish and Game 
A Paradise for the Camper and Angler 
Ideal Canoe Trips 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all 
kinds of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon 
and Trout fishing, also Caribou barrens. Americans who have been fishing and hunting in New- 
foundland say there is no other country in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can 
be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundland. Information, together with illustrated 
Booklet and Folder, cheerfully forwarded upon application to

REID NEWFOUNDLAND COMPANY ST. JOHN’S, NEW FOUNDLAND 
until the modern enamelled line was in- 
troduced. Up to that time I had not used 
a reel, as it was not necessary in still- 
hshing for brackish water panfish, nor in 
fly-fishing for chubs, sunfish and gud- 
geons. The major gave me a light click 
reel and had reel-bands and guide-rings 
put on my cedar rods by a local watch- 
maker. 
I was much pleased and greatly elated 
with my new outfit. The cedar rods were 
light and pliable, but very resilient and 
were just right for the small streams. I 
used flies of my own tying, for I had not 
forgotten the art. My companion and 
tutor had his own ideas about flies and 
of course, had his favorites, but after we 
had fished awhile he acknowledged that 
mine seemed to be about as alluring as 
his own. The trout were not large, run- 
ning about two or three to a pound, and 
seemed to me to be rather small after my 
experience with brackish water white 
perch; but the major said they averaged 
very well with the usual run of brook 
■trout in small streams. 
Being entirely new to me, my introduc- 
tion to trout fishing was a wonderful 
revelation, for it was my first experience 
in real angling. The quick response of 
the gamesome beauties to the flies as they 
alighted on the water was evidenced 
either by a swirl beneath the surface, or 
by a vicious rush and an electric snap 
at the feathery lures. It was altogether 
new to me, and something undreamed of 
in my fishing philosophy, and somewhat 
disconcerting at first. But as I became 
accustomed to their manceuvers I began 
to realize and enjoy the novelty and 
pleasure of the situation. 
As we meandered down the stream, 
the major a little ahead, casting our flies 
here and there, I could have found use 
for half a dozen pairs of eyes, so intent 
was I in watching his every motion and 
at the same time giving proper attention 
to my own fishing. I was obsessed by the 
beauty and cha--i of the stream and its 
surroundings, so utterly different to all 
my past experience in still-fishing from 
bank or boat. The stream itself singing 
and sparkling in the bright sunshine, the 
dancing riffles and whirling eddies, the 
trills and cadencies of the wood-thrush in 
the coppice, the swaying and rustling of 
the tree tops, the glint of the butterfly 
wings, the swift sailing by of the dragon- 
fly — all gave an added zest to the pleas- 
ure of angling, which had heretofore 
been a sealed book to me. 
And then, after the noon-day luncheon j 
in the cool shade of beeches and maples, 
the major smoked his post-prandial pipe 
as I admired the contents of the creel. 
Surely there is no lovelier fish than the 
brook trout. The bizarre and gayly-tinted 
fishes of the coral reefs of Florida and 
Porto Rico, the butterflies of the sea; or 
the fantastic, grotesque and many-hued 
denizens of the tropical waters of Hawaii, 
the harlequins of the atolls; they must 
all, all lower their spiny crests and re- 
tire to the deep recesses of their coral 
caves when the soft-finned, velvety brook 
trout, tinted with the crimsom and gold 
of sunset is seen darting arrowlike in 
the pure, crystal waters of the fountain.
