ÊrM àP , i TEE CANADIAN MANVILLE, ONTABIO PAGE Luelu ipigon Rfrer District In Nforthemu Ontario Letter N4. 8 Camer-on Falls, ont. Dear Mr. James: When one opens a Geograpir; Text on the resources of Northerr: Ontario, he invariably finds thesf words - Nipigon River-, noted toi its speckled trout. And thus il lias been, although in thre future thre text mey be clienged to --waE Snoted'. Prom newspaper reportE ~Plus tire first-hand informatioin ,from veterans of this district, the b*'tr-out wes no idle boast. 1According to a Star Weekly re- port of a few weeks past, when the C.P.R. Put its rails tirrougi Nipigon Village in the early 80's the Hudson Bay Co. was reputec as heving two ice houses, con- taining five specked trout nirre pounds or better-, packed for wln. ter- consumption. About twenty years later- when the C.N.R. was being constructed from Longlac to Port Arthiur, the workers would desert their dinner pail àt noon- hour- to walk througir the bush approxhinately one mile distant to Camer-on Pool, tire present loca- tion Of Cameron Falls. This pool was much noted for its trout of 6 - 10 pounids which could be talc- en with very 11111e ability of an agile fishermair. There were botir species, speckled and reinbow. Thre larges- speckled trout on record was taken fr6m Nipigon waters around the village of Nipi- gon by a Dr. Cook of Fort Wil- liam. Its weight was fourteen and one iralt Pounds. Every year, yearly compétitions are carried on for thre speckled trout fisirermen, and to be a winner the fish must run over ten Pounds to eclipse tire others. Sorne Big FIsh Yet Fishing i the Nipigon during thre past few year-s has been spas- modic and undependable. True, many large fish still dwell i the river, but in diminished numbers, as the influx of roads and tourists into the country, flot 10 mention tire local fisirermen, has lessened tire same. Ini order to fi for specledt troul to-day, one must take a trip up the Nipigon River to' enotirer- series of fails called Pine Portage. The trip itself la reelly grand, witir the tail majes- tic walls of rock towering straight up fr-om the river in places, and tire wirole covered wlth the ves- tare of spruce and poplar. At Pine Portage there can s1111 be caughl flsh weighing from. 3 to 8bS. in weight. Although I have been present and seen tliem. caught, he big fellows have so far eludd y reel and line, but tiranks to éther fishermen we have dined on tris elite fisir. Fartirer up the river, at Virgin Fells, tee moutir of Lake Nipigon, there is also good fishing 10 be1 lied, but due 10 a succession of1 rapids these grounds are orly ac-, cessible from lthe rallway et theej east ide of tee lake, with thé. aidj of a motor .launch. South Bey inj Lake, Nipigon i i possibly one ofi THE ONLY NA~TIONAL APPEAL' THIS YL&Rt FOR OUR 1MIN IN UNIFORM the lait feeding places of titis battling fish, and ettractsI many tourlats. One>tourist cornes yearly IYfromn Texas, U.S.A., to his cottage Mon one of the mnnumerable islands se of the lhke, and remnains there tili Dr the hunting season is over. Need- it less to say he is a verya freat re booster of the Northland, & the RB way from the Sunny South. ts I mnentioned above that trout )n flshing le flot as successful to-day ie as in past years. One reason for Uhis is the construction of Hydro Electrlc dams on the river, to change the course of the water ,through the power houses to pro- duce electric power. At certain times the men open the dams to *'spil' water, thus, any fish that lare swept over the dam have no 1. chance to ,return to their breeding yplaces. In late years pulpwood ts has been floated down the Nipi- tgon ini large quantities varying dfrom 5,000 to 100,000 cords. The j. continuai scrading and rubbing of hthe logs as they corne over the orepids, barks them. When the bark becomes watersoaked it qdrops to the bottom of the river ýfat the foot of the rapids, covering over the feeding grounds of the trout. Unless pulp floating is car- ried on i a different manner in the future, the Nipigon River is going to pass into posterity as the 'once' home of the famous speck- led trout. More About Flirh Other- game fisir are aiea quite numeraus linlire watersaf thee district. In many beys and river-s tire Northern Pike cen be pulled ouI up ta 25 pounde in weiglit, and elthougir large, il le no trouble to land theen. In tis point, traut sur-pess thace as a fighling fisir. A six-paund trout will tae con- siderably mare patience and skiU1 10 land than a large pike, whicir aller e moment's flurry and dasir may be pulled out as lifelees as a log. Fishermen in generel ar-e glad bo ses theem rid from thee river-, as they devour- iuge quasi- tilles of smeller trout and white- fisir with their carnivor-ous ap- petites. Piekerel le quile ebundant. Be- fore tee war broke out and guards- ware stationad ar-ound the plant, il was e lest minute custorn be- tdre retiring ta go ta thee lead- worke of the power- house and maire a few caste for- pickerel. These would be visible in teej water wilh their ct-likeesyser-e-i flected in the lights of tire power-1 .hausa. For- axcitement, these alsoa excel tee pike. Alteough basa ls not aven- ebundant, some lakes mey be fished for not allier- but base. About five miles wesl of lier-e lias a leke celled Bass Lake. During tira summer- and autumn, a fine string of'fieir will generally ne-j ward you for your walk in. There1 is a boat et tire lake whichi l usedt for- turing in the deep hales. Myi tir-st trip ta the leke two autumfist ega,. iconpany wltir two'othens,i was ovar tee uphll trail t te lake in tee early morning. only to find anoteer party had advanced before us, and obtarned the only boat. After fishing unsuccesgfully from, tee shrore for the morning wa made tee r-eturn trip i efeU- ing light rain. Needlass to say, I 8enjoyed by r-ast tiret night. 7Laketrout fisliing Is an Imiport- 7ant industry i teis country, car- ried on in Lake Superior, Lake Nipigon and most sinaller inlancy lakag. These are elso a fine gamé fish. A 40 pound laketrout was tlended lest year around Rossporl by hook and line. The catch of laketrout Is shipped east daily to tMontreal, Toronto and other C an- e dian cilles, as well as New York. The Sportsman's Paradise In the autumn teis country le the ver-iteble Sportsmian's Pare- dise, and many Aner-icen touriste travel up tee river and spread over the sur-nounding country. Moose and deer are teken on te outskirIs of tire village. I have seen deer varlous times in tee sea- son within the camp's limi'te. The early inhebitants here recali a moose herd which hed their sleep- ing spot et the rear of the village. *Dogs and rifles have mostly been the cause of depletion of the moose, but deer being more diffi- cult to frigirten 10 new territory, rareiy leave their intimate feed- ing haunts. So it ls quile ordinary ta observe a deer or fawn dur-ing e walk through tee bush. At night deer will often run down tee road ahead of tee car in the ligirle' glare-then, when you have near- ly r-eeched them, they will pause And leap for the bush. If I lied hed a flasirlighl buib and film one nigit, on my way home froni town, I could certeinly have ob- tained a wonderful snepsirot of the sarne. Sometimes e bear willwander into camp. These usuelly get a warm reception, as one feilow did1 e yar ago. A irousewife in camp q thouglit she heerd someone et her J beck door, but hen visitor whenc sire looked out was a 500 pound 1 black bear. When tee beer visited 1 tire next house tee owner was 1 waiting with tee shotgun. That i bear was certeinly a big one-and c one Ihal didn't gel away. The dis-i trict around is kept relatively free 1 of bears as the people feel tiret 1 for the total sefety of their chul- r dren the bears sliould be lessened s in numbers. t Indian Traplines The country is r-el trapping countr-y wite lire Indians as trap- Pers.

Canadian Garden Service By Gordon Lindsay Smith *Steeply sloping, narrow lots are not a matter of pity but of envy, practical landscape g a r d e n e r s maintain. With this sort of ground the creation of a really unusue] and individuel gerden is made 9=epe. Experts do flot; advocate 3ca 'ing on as *it is, however, bul wdgiJ sharply divide the differ- dnt levels. To do tis a variet3 ,of devices is recomniendedsuct as a aton~e wall, a less ornanenta] >but stronger concrete wail screen- ed with a hedge, or a rock garden with a few stone steps connectihg the levels. Sometinies, where fhe slope is very great and over a few feet wide, a combination of ail three methods will be the most precti- cal and effective. Big trees wil] be depended upon to hold the general slope in plaèê, with herE and there extra support furnished by steps or short bits of wail. To atternpt handling a slope as an ordinery lawn or flower gar- den is'both unnatural and diffi- cuit. The grass will almost certain- ly wash awey, and even m.wing will be impossible. Try a New Vegetable In vegetables, as in flowers, scientiste have been givlng us many improvements. Their work has been carried out .in two direc- tions:.. fi.rt, the introduction of vegetables unfamiliar to most Canadiazis, and second, and prob- ably more important, vast im- provement in those varieties that have been grown in this country for years. Of the vegetables new ta most Çanadlans.there are several worth a trial ln any gerden. Many ex- perienced gardeners make it a habit to try at least one new kind each year. Full descriptions will be found i ny Cenadian seed catalogue. In reguler vegetables there has been improvement all down the lie, wlth the object of gett:ng more flavor, succulence and a longer season. Corn l l a typical example.
