plunge into “the bush,” and under 
Fred’s capable management we trans- 
ported five hundred pounds of duffle 
back thirty miles to a cabin that was to 
be our headquarters for the next ten 
months. 
As well as for his qualities as a 
woodsman, my wife and I enjoyed hav-

famous the world 
over. All styles

ing Fred with us as guide and compan- 
ion. He was proud of his English and 
/he was so glad to have a chance for 
practice that he’d say nothing rather 
_than resort to his own language. Joe 
Fortin spoke with very little accent, 
having worked in a Massachusetts cot- 
ton mill. He told me that Fall River 
was the third largest French city in 
America. 
Seven miles back from the village, at 
the forks of the Mont Louis River, 
stands a cabin built of immense cedar 
logs. The lumber road goes no farther 
and we stopped here to reload the out- 
fit from the buckboard onto skids. My 
sketch map showed some good lakes in 
the neighborhood, but Fred told me 
“By and by you get plenty feesh, back 
in the bush. Beeg wans, by cork!” 




HAT night we stopped at a porcu- 
pine-bitten camp at Mont Louis 
Lake and the second day we pulled up 
at the cabin thirty miles back, on the 
edge of the North Branch of the Made- 
leine River. Considering the twenty- 
five years it had served Fred and his 
brother Joe as winter quarters for their 
trapping, the camp was in first class 
condition. Here we were within strik- 
ing distance of the promised land Fred 
had been holding out for me. 
Four miles down the North Branch 
we reached the Madeleine itself, the 
longest of the Gaspé rivers. The point 
where it is joined by the North Branch 
is sixty miles above its mouth. The 
stream bed is choked with granite 
boulders carried down from Tabletop, 
where it makes its beginning ten miles 
above. The river is about fifty feet 
across, and low water took us around 
the hips, wading over. Carry your wife 
and it’s no easy job. 
Following the old trail cut up with 
Moose and caribou tracks six miles 
farther, and there is the water—Made- 
leine Lake. A _ beautiful three-mile 
sweep of wind-rippled surface, set down 
between two mountains. Fred hasn’t 
visited the old cabin here for two years 
and while he and my wife are fixing 
things up I take a stand by the lake and 
make a trial cast. 
HE fly just nicely settles on the 
water when there comes an awful 
yank. The rebound brings up memories 
of the Sainte Anne River, but the mys- 
tery is, how did a salmon find his way 
to a back woods lake 2,500 feet above 
the sea? I grip the rod with both 
hands; first I play him, and then I treat 
him rough. Finally he is lying on the
