GREAT FISH STORIES any Are Being Told by Some Local Anglers, This is great fishing weather and if all stories were true the fishes caught would feed many multitudes and fill many baskets with frag- | ments, but if they were sifted for! the actual number it might require a greater miracle than the one of old to make the fish go around. One of Kingston's popul says that he returned frém Lobor- ough lake with about fifty pounds of fish, %including black bass of from three to five pounds and pike of untold dimensions. Another caught some wonderful finny speci- mens near Simcoe Island, 'but none of his friends saw any of them. A poor fisherman and a poor story teller are one and the same thing.
