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

him through and must get the boat up 
to him. Hold him ofT such places with 
the full strength of the rod, for unless 
you have set the hook very deep with 
a stroke counter-strike in reply to his, 
he will get slack and shake out the hook. 
I have lost many a good bass who saw 
the snag, or the raft of pads, before I 
did! A regular stunt of his is to make 
a smashing leap out of water, shaking 
his head like a terrier, with the object 
of snapping the bait out of his mouth. 
Drop your tip and pull him down. Some- 
j times he is successful in this manoeuver, 
I particularly with a heavy wooden plug, 
i and will snitch it ten feet off and give 
you the good-a-bye, John. 
I WOULD like to digress here, for a 
word on the landing net. Without 
this useful little tool your fate lies 
in the lap of the Red Gods, up to the 
very moment you have your hands on the 
bass and are strangling him to death in 
the bottom of the boat. Many and many 
a bass have I lost, in the very last min- 
ute of play, simply because the landing 
net was hanging up on a tree in camp, 
instead of being right there with a 
smile on its face. Two ways to beat out 
the lack of one I have tried, sometimes 
with success. One is to take advantage 
of one of his rushes toward the boat and 
lift him right on over the side, with a 
quick rise of the rod-tip. He usually 
spins out of water and comes in over 
the plate like a fade-away, and, if you 
are lucky, he will land somewhere within 
the confines of the gunwale, where you 
can fall on him and club him to death. 
But, woe to you if he hits the gunwale 
first! The second way is to utterly tire 
him out, and then manoeuver him along- 
side, when you can dip your fingers 
stealthily into his gills and yank him 
aboard. A third way, that I have heard 
i of but never successfully tried, is to half- 
upset the boat, and take him in on the 
flood tide that pours over the gunwales. 
It’s all right, if you half upset the boat, 
j and then leave well enough alone! Also, 
I if he does not feel the gunwale under 
j his belly and dart out again, snagging 
j the line around the oarlock, as a beauti- 
i ful, green, three-pounder once did to me. 
As to still fishing tactics, bait fishing 
j in deep water from an anchored boat, the 
, main answer is fish-psychology. There 
is a subtle message, telegraphed up the 
line, that tells the true angler when 
the time to strike has come. It cannot 
be told in words; you must just get it, 
that’s all! Anchor the boat at both ends, 
in some cove where there are rocky 
ledges dimly visible down in the depths, 
or huge boulders with dark lairs in be- 
tween them. Then put on your frog, 
hooked through the corner of the upper 
lip, and cast him where he will sink down 
near the ledge or lair. Leave the line 
perfectly free, with click off the reel. 
Sooner or later the line will begin to 
move off stealthily. A bass has your 
frog, and is taking it somewhere before 
making up his mind to swallow it. 
Wait! The urge to strike is unbeliev- 
ably strong, but you’ll simply get back 
your frog if you do. Finally he turns 
him around in his mouth, which opera- 
tion takes time, until satisfactorily com- 
pleted, and then he swallows him — and
