TRAPPING THE THREf 
RIVER ZONE 
(Continued from page 173) 
and friend of my partners, was comin 
down from the Lake to spend the winte 
with us. This was good news; “Old Da 
isn’t much of a trapper, but he can hel 
with the fishing on Buck Lake,” Waltei 
informed me. After La Rocque had bee 
supplied with flour, lard, tea, jam, etc., \ 
went on over to Buck Lake. 
Buck Lake was about six miles di 
east of Ninety Mile House and on tl 
way one had to cross over the Litt 
Smoky River. This lake was about foi 
miles long and two miles wide at 01 
point. Walters had a number of thre 
hundred-foot nets and we had set 
couple of them out before the lake fro 
over; if I remember rightly these ne 
had a five and a half or six-inch mes 
The lake was well stocked with whit 
fish, mullet (a kind of sucker) and Ja< 
Pike. I remember well the first time 
went over to Buck Lake to tend these tv 
nets alone. The wind was blowing pret 
strong and the old boat in which I row 
out to the net stake nearest the shot 
was hard to handle. Twice I went by t 
stake without being able to grab it, h 
the third time was “charmed” in this i 
stance. By holding onto the “back lin 
of the net (a heavy cord to which the t 
of the net was fastened) I let the bo 
drift slowly along the side. I had tak 
out three or four whitefish without a 
real trouble, but as I lifted the cent! 
portion of the net from the water I not 
that it was twisted into a regular roi 
Following some fifty feet of this I su 
denly came to the cause of it—a hu 
Northern Pike about four feet in lengt 
Maybe you think I didn’t have r 
hands full, right there. That pike w 
as ugly as a young alligator and just 
full of fight. The wind was blowing 
regular gale out there on the lake and 
was hard to keep the boat where I want 
it. I finally realized that I couldn’t 
anything as long as Mr. Pike was aii 1 
so I dragged him cautiously to the si 
face and shot him with a .22 pistol I i\ 
carrying. Even then it took me over 
hour to straighten out the tangled net a 
get it lowered in its proper place. 
Walters and I ate a good many whi 
fish that fall and winter and many tiir 
we would eat a six-pound fish between 
at ONE MEAL! Now, I know tl 
sounds FISHY, but like SOME fi 
stories it is true. I never had much fai 
for the Jack Pike although the smal 
ones were not bad at all. A curious fi 
in this connection is that the Crees woi 
trade a whitefish for a pike any time. 
When cold weather came on the whi 
fish netting was no tenderfoot’s job. C 
had to chop holes through the ice 
cither end of the net back lines. A stro 
line, somewhat longer than the net, v 
fastened to one end and while one m 
paid it out, the other drew the net fr< 
the hole at the other end. This latter j 
called for considerable care as the t 
must be laid about right or it woi 
tangle when being drawn hack into t 
water. To make this task more bearafi 
Walters rigged up a small tent on ski 
so that we could draw it anywhere.
