When they would. hit their lines, they were surprised to find only the heads of pike, bass, perch, ete. What became of the rest of the fish was unknown, but the secret was made known last, Thursday when Rob ert: Moore, 'of Perth, who has obtained license for fishing in those ' waters, lifted his large hoop ne and found a great number of large lyng. The settlers who saw. him raise 'the nets, men who were born on the Mississippi banks, declare they never before saw a lyng." There are two reasons for this 'Lhe chief oné being that these large lyng sleep all day and seek their prov at night) which: fall easy victims to the lyng. They are quite capable of doing away with fish from one or two pounds weight. The other reason is that men fishing for ordinary fish never use large ugh bait, and there 38 no doubt Ee what the yng have destroyed the pickerel that were deposited in those waters over twenty-five years ago. The same rea- may be given for the disappear- ance, of the salmon in Pike lake in the township of Burgess. : The early setilers around the Bike shore well remember. when salmon ranging from eight to twenty-eight pounds were taken from these waters plentifully. But for 'the last twenty vears salmon has not been seen in the waters of Pike lake. And the fact that lymg are so numerous im that lake, that they can be thrown out of the surrounding créek with pitch forks, plainly shows that the salmon have been completely overcome by the lyng. Where salmon abounded in early days, they would no doubt thrive in the same lake avai if the taken out. But, unfortunately, there is no way ol faking out lyng, excepting with the hoop nets, and these are dften used to raise pike, bass wnd pickerel, If a license could be obtained ox provisions were strictly adhe to, and all game fish returned to the water uninjured, the hoop nets would soon clear out the lvag and catfish, and ther the other fish would flourish Mr. Moore fished in the Clyde waters last year. and the government de posited six hundred thousand white son T its these monstrous lyng before they over run the fishing resorts in Ontario.
