more ago my father has told me that before the dams were built to impede their passage aea salmon swarmed up the credit and all the streams falling into lake ontario and that in the spawning season they were packed so thick in the credit hat if they had not moved one could have walked on their backs dryshod working men stipulated that they whould not have salmon more than once a week and they despised trout even more i remember in 1874 visit ing newcastle neat bowmaiivllle at the invitation of samuel wiunot who was the flrat man in canada to con struct a lull hatchery and seeing about 40 sea salmon which had been spawn- ed in a pond it was not safe to turn them into the creek and let them make their way to lake ontario as they would have been killed by the neighboring farmers who hadnt much hympathy with mr avumots experi ments so they were driven into deep water by mr wllmots men i think 75 was the yast year the salmon came up to the hatchery which how ever was devoted to the hatching of other fish there were numerous brunches of the credit creek all wall- stocked with trout and there being no limit in those days everyone caught an many as their fancy dictated in the rear of the village two crys tal ftprintf creeks tlowed into what was known as leaga pond a small sheet of water an acre or so in extent and there was seldom a day in the season when a nice mess of trout could not lw taken in u abort time tho boys used worms fur bait altogether bur j hugh mckay gave us our first lesson in the gentle art of fly ashing and wo looked on in wonder at the skill he displayed in ashing without bait longs jjond emptiest into another which passed under the main street and many a big fellow do i remember hauling out in the early morning be fore the traffic had scared the shy beauties within the past dosen years i re member visiting loners pond for old times sake and on that pleasant sum mer ovening saw the trout jumping hh they used to so ions before and in the lower pond was mr lawson deft ly sweeping the water with his fly tackle and still getting ash spring creek half way to stewartown a crystal- clear little brook made its way from the deep woods at the foot of a lonjr hill it chattered chattered as it flowed to join the rimming river beneath dense thickets of aldera and again through nit meagows bu never falling to yield a good mess of small trout to the careful angler spring creek it was called and no doubt still retain its name if it has survived tho clearing- away of the trees from lta source till it was lost in the credit could not have been a couple of miles but it was a pure delight to ramble along its clear winding way to the sea there were many gravel reaches where the trout used to spawn and as there were no game law in those days we thought it no sin to creep quietly up to the spawning beds anfl yank the big fellows out with a nakel hook or even ahoot them sometimes br inning home a mixed bag- in which might be also one or two wild pigeon nnd black squirrels a partridge or two and possibly a brace of woodcock for we knew the haunts of these shy creatures and had no scruples about killing them whert ahu how we coull find them lume and fish wori equally plenty within a few hundred yards of the old home we discovered several partridge nests and watched them during the early summer till tho chicks- were hatched and fully lodg ed we had a uttlo brown spaniel trus ty by name and nature trained aa u bird dog which we took into the woods when the time came h would flush tho coveys and when they had lit in a tree keep yapping the birds would be entirely engrossed with the dog and by shooting the luwont first one could sometimes get tho whole covey w41u pigeons wild pigeons remained fairly plen ty us long as i knew georgetown and it was seldom neceswary to go far to shoot a many as on cared to car ry home the picnic ground down the eighth line a short distance from the village was a favorite resort for these beautiful birds this place wns also a favorod resort ot black squlr- rei somewhere in the vicinity were the pigeon rookery nnd at tho nesting seuson many birds wore killed qie or
