Canoeists Attention! 
Detroit, Mich., July 28. —Editor Forest and 
Stream: Hurrah for those “condensed canoe 
trips’’ begun in Forest and Stream for July 19, 
1913 ! I have been over three long Algonquin 
cruises, all different, and one long Temagami 
trip, and am surprised how reliable your (or 
Chas. Spenner’s) information is. I want to ask 
a question, so I make a contribution: What can 
you tell me about the Whitefish River up to 
Lake Panache and on up to Wahnapitae village 
from Little Current, Ont.? What kinds of fish? 
Bedding? How many days? 
How is it down the Wahnapitae River to 
the French in these same respects? Are there 
any lake-like windings or side trips? I have 
Michie’s (Toronto) map of Wahnapitae River 
and J. E. Jones (canoeing and camping) con¬ 
densed information, but most desire some com¬ 
parison on the fishing. 
By the way, for number and variety of fish, 
French River takes the cake. Practically the 
only thing in Algonquin is lake trout. They 
have long spells of “off.” Bass and brook trout 
are limited to very few lakes. Temagami is 
good for bass—when you find them—and for 
lake trout, but on the French some good kind 
is very liear every camp. Water is not so nice 
and cool as other places, and country not so 
wild; balsam scarce. O. E. F.
