Big Trout OF SauIt ste. Marie.

In the early spring suckers in immense
schools run up from St. Marys River. between
Lakes Superior and Huron, into the small
streams that come In on both sides OF the river.
where they deposit their spawn. They are fol-
lowed by brook trout in droves. and among
them arc specimens larger than can be found
anywhere else In the Northwest. These trout
are aft r the sucker spawn and leave the upper
waters OF the streams when tho spawning sea-
son IS over. While following the suckers these
trout furnish rare sport to the angler. and
catches with five and sig rounders among
them have been made. The TROUT have re-
River by the end OF May. and the large ones
will not rise 10 the fly again until the next
sucker spawning season. Now and then big
one will be tempted by an attractive minnow
to take the hook. but not frequently enough to
make angling either interesting or exciting.

Tho Biggest GrayIInG.

Col Horace Park Of Columbus, Ohio. who en-
lows tho distiu elton of having killed the largest
Crawling ever taken from Pigeon River, in the
Michigan graylinR region, says that both gray
ling and trout fishing In the Michigan woods
are as good now as they ever were, since rail-
roads have almost entirely done away with
logging In the streama 1t was to the choking
and tanning OF the streams and the plough
ing and tearing up OF their beds by the inter-
minable log drives that tho apparent annihi-
lation Of trout aud grayllng from their iavor-
lite haunts for the past ton or fifteen years was
due The lumbermen found few years ago
thai they could get their logs to the mills
quicker. safer and cheaper by huiiding rail-
roads into the woods. and consequently most
OF the streams have long been Abandoned to tho
possession OF their native fish again. The mar
vellous recuper alive power OF trout and their
kind when not interfered with by unnaturai
causes has been demonstrated. Col. Park says,
In AN UNPARALLELED manner by the astonishing
recovery OF the streams OF Michigan from ap-
parent steriity to fertility in trout and gray

was gone ami so was the snake. The eggs
she had been depending on to make up part
on. and although she was weak when she re-
covered from her faint she had strength
enough to be indignant and hard set against
snakes generally and that blacksnake in par

into q helpless swoon and gobbed all her
eggs. Miss Lever ing rose to her feet, and
