CANADIAN FISH AND FISHING. 
By E. T. D. Chambers. 
Quebec, May 26.—If ever the patience which 
is the characteristic virtue of the disciples of 
good old Izaak Walton can be said to have been 
fairly tried, the present season was assuredly the 
time and Canada the scene. The first of May 
has come and gone, and the fishermen who usual¬ 
ly spend the opening day of the trout season 
whipping the lakes in the neighborhood of 
Quebec, were this year still waiting, several 
days later, for the disappearance of the ice. 
Even when half of the month passed, many of 
the larger lakes were still in the grip of their 
winter covering, and the ice upon Lake Edward 
did not move until a week or so ago. 
In the country north of Ottawa the season is 
naturally earlier and already there are accounts 
of some very fair catches on some of the trout 
lakes in that locality. The smaller lakes are 
earlier than Lake Edward, where the fishing will 
also be good within a couple of days of the disap¬ 
pearance of the ice. 
Regarding Lake St. John, I should not advise 
anglers to visit it before June. Since the destruc¬ 
tion of the Hotel Roberval the accommodation 
is poor, but some shelter can be obtained in the 
smaller hostelries and local guides will look after 
fishermen who desire to tempt the ouananiche 
off the mouth of the Metabetchouan or along the 
Roberval shore. 
Speaking of early spring fishing in the waters 
of Quebec, suggests a branch of the sport that 
might well tempt enthusiastic anglers to try their 
luck at fly-fishing for the great forked-tail trout 
or touladi, scientifically known as SalveHnus 
namaycush. The prevailing opinion in regard 
to this fish is that it is never a surface feeder. 
It is only in this North country that it can be 
said to be so and even here it is only for a few 
days that it can be taken except by deep water 
trolling. Immediately upon the break up of the 
ice, and preferably before it has fully disap¬ 
peared from all parts of the large lakes in which 
the touladi is found, its presence near the sur¬ 
face of the water may be discovered by the 
numbers of little fish, which to escape from its 
pursuit are to be seen leaping in shoals out of the 
water. There is the place and the time to cast 
the fly. Large, as the fish usually is, it is a re¬ 
markable fact that a cast of small flies is more

Go After Big Game the Big Game 
Don’t fool with oars and paddles—that takes too long. It kills your outing. 
Make every minute count by using a Caille Portable Boat Motor. If the big fish 
are miles down the river or far across the lake, simply give your fly wheel half a turn 
and “zip”—away you go to the fishing grounds at the rate of 7 to 9 miles an hour. When you 
get there, adjust your motor to trolling speed and then fish to your heart’s content. There are no 
oars to fool with— your hands are free to handle the rod. The
