APPENDIX.—A. 
of the largest size and most delicious quality, and with Sea 
Trout beside—although not in such hordes, as they affect in 
the waters which fall eastward, like the Ricliibucto, into the 
Bay of Gaspe. 
Below Quebec, the fishing is excellent, quite down to the 
mouth of the St. Lawrence ; and in the Chaudiere, the Jacques 
Cartier, the St. Maurice, the Ottawa, and all the other rivers, so 
far up their courses as they are able to penetrate, before reach¬ 
ing impassable cataracts. 
In Lake Ontario they are taken abundantly with the net; but 
will not rise to the fly, or at least rarely, if at all; and thence, 
through the Oswego river, they make their way into Cayuga, and, 
if I am not mistaken, Seneca Lake also, in the interior of the 
State of New York ; but in neither of these have I ever heard of 
their being taken by the fly. Southward and westward of this, 
the Salmon exist no longer; although I believe, in former times, 
they were found so far south as to Virginia—certainly to the 
Hudson and the Delaware—now, alas ! until the sportsman 
strikes the Columbia and the streams falling from the westward 
watershed of the Rocky Mountains into the Pacific Ocean, not 
a Salmon shall he find westward of the Kennebeck or south of 
the St. Lawrence. 
Trout of small size, but delicious flavor, swarm in all the 
mountain brooks of the Northern and Midland States, until you 
reach the Virginia Alleglianies. In the Western States, and 
the rivers running thence northerly, into the Great Lakes ; or 
southward and westward into the Ohio, Missouri, and Missis¬ 
sippi, the Trout is not found ; but I believe it reappears in the 
north-western rivers with an easterly course. 
In Lake Superior and the Falls at the outlet of that grand 
sheet of water, they are again abundant, with a superb variety 
of the Salmon —Salmo Amethystinus —so called from a purplish 
tinge on his teeth—which, though in some respects analogous to 
the HucJio of the Saave and Draave, and of the Norwegian and 
Swedish rivers, is peculiar to these waters. 
There is another species of Salmon, generally known as the
