In writing to advertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
one fake insect turns out to be as tempt- 
ing as the next one to these unsophisti- 
cated brook trout. By the time we have 
reached the portaging road a quarter 
mile back we have a string for lunch; 
nothing oversize, but good enough to 
be out of the appetizer class. We get 
back to the canoe in time to catch Toad 
in the act of mixing egg whites into 
a batch of French style pan cakes. 
The packs are made up and after 
Toad and I have an argument over dis- 
tributing the outfit evenly we make for 
the old lumber road, bound for York 
Lake. This body of water, one of the 
four largest in Gaspé, until recently 
was thought to be part of the Riviére 
Madeleine system. At that time it was 
known as Las des Monts. It lies fifty 
miles back from Gaspé Basin and has 
been made accessible by means of the 
rough lumber road we were following. 
UR course lay northwest, so that 
we were making for the middle of 
the peninsula, skirting the northwest 
range of the Shickshocks. We could see 
no mountains higher than 2,500 feet 
until an elevated point was climbed 
from York Lake, giving a fine outlook 
as far as Tabletop, where the great 
whaleback summits spread out marking 
the highest land in eastern Canada. 
Two easy days out from the canoe 
brought us to this paradise and a new 
brand of fish, Canadian red trout. 
Ranging all the way from the speckled 
beauties to salmon had given us no 
taste of what was waiting for us here. 
The fighting spirit those red fellows 
showed would put all the others to 
shame, and each one furnishes three 
people with a good sized meal! 
Take one look at the place where 
they live and the breed really isn’t sur- 
prising. York Lake is a thing to re- 
member to your dying day. On two 
sides there are sharply rising hills, but 
the ends lead off into low flat valleys 
with apparently only a barrier of 
shadowy conifers holding back the 
water. If you have picked a damp place 
to get out to the lake’s edge and find 
yourself blocked by a tangle of white 
cedar, look around for a place where 
there’s a low bank of rock. Then settle 
down on a bed of soft brown spruce 
needles and notice all the commotion 
the trout are making out there in front 
of you! 
BY first let a word of caution pre- 
pare you for this languishing. Take 
along either a lot of mosquito netting 
or some efficient fly dope! Except for 
traveling in the higher mountains, the 
only months to find relief from insects 
in the interior are June and October. 
When I think of those lakes I’ve 
fished in Gaspé, places known only by 
hearsay to all but a few surveyors, and 
still a legend to the seafarers of the 

coast, I don’t know whether to pass o 
the good word to others or to keep it 
quiet until I go back sometime to have | 
the luxury of just those same experi- 
ences. A 
We went to Gaspé by way of Mon- 
treal and the north shore. At Matane 
we rode by bus sixty miles to Ste. Anne 
des Monts, and here we found the Ste. 
Anne river was a good place to get ac- 
quainted with salmon. The fish go up- 
stream as far as the forks, thirty-five 
miles above the village. Here a cabin 
is located, reached by a rough lumber 
road from the sea. This point is the 
beginning of a trail leading up Mt. Al- 
bert, about ten miles away. Mt. Albert 
has an elevation of 3,900 feet and is 
in the midst of the great caribou coun- 
try. 

ROM Ste. Anne des Monts around 
the coast to Gaspé Basin is a dis- 
tance of 125 miles. This is now open 
to the traveler, an automobile highway 
having been completed in the fall of 
1924. In the past, if one didn’t care to 
take the time to walk, there was the 
alternative of going either by boat and 
missing the pleasure of meeting the in- 
teresting people and seeing the country 
at close range, or driving by carriage 
and ending up with a broken leg or 
fractured ribs. Even so, I am inclined 
to lament the passing of those horrors, — 
dreading the succession of an era of 
hot dogs! 
What is more essential to a story of — 
the North Woods than an atmospheric — 
French Canadian? They have been — 
painted in red, black and white; they 
have been extolled, condoned and vin- 
dicated. The Canucks do run the scale — 
from moron to genius just as any na- — 
tionality will, but we ran across two | 
men on the north shore who were the — 
genuine articles.
