I IEouf 81 NiPigon
Hooking the ewled Aristorra in Stream Where Exaor
dinary Catches Are Possible Even for the Amateur

By party of i've anglers from Johns
town, Pa.
These records were made In the first
part of June, which happened to be one
Of the eoldest fortnights for that season
in many years. Had the weather
been warmer doubtless much more re-
markabls catches would have been made.
The Indians considered the catches very
poor for that time Of year, though good
for the weather which prevailed.
How the Big Fish Are Taken.
While the big brook trout of every other
famous trout water are invariably taken
deep, the big fish of the Nipigon are
taken close to the surface. There is no
deep trolling" for these giants. In some
of the pools, such as Robinson's Pool and
the fast water at Victoria Camp and at
Virgin Falls, the big fish are taken with
the hy on the surface. To take six, seven
and eight pound brook trout with the ay
in fast water is exclusively characteristics
of Nipigon above any other trout water
the writer has visited.
Tackle for this sport must necessarily
be the best of its kind. The drawn gut
leaders now coming into large popularity
among expert anglers, as well as the eI-
tremely delicate gut used in dry hy fish
ing, while capable of taking an occasional
fish under fortuitous circumstances, are,
in the opinion of the writer. simply an
invitation to disaster in Nipigon's power

The brook trout range from half 6
pound to nine and ten pounds in weight
For fifty years the Indians of Nipigor
have been feeding ten pound brook
trout to their dogs. For many years
these giant fish could be seen, smoked and
piled up like cordwood, near the homes Of
the Indians to be used as winter food.
They have been netted in immense num-
bers at the southerly end of Lake Nipigon
every fall, and the largest fish have been
taken this way.

Big Fish Tales.
No need to exaggerate Nipigon catches.
The truth itself will not be believed ex,
eept By the initiated. Get your breath
and listen to these sample yarns
In two hours of fishing in one afternoon
of very rainy, cold, disagreeable day i
early June two Of Us took on fly rods just
little more than sixU-eight pounds oi
trout which we threw back into the water
uninjured because we had more fish than
we needed. At one time, standing less than
fifty feet away from each other, one man
played md landed five and three-quarter
pound brook trout, while the other played
and landed a twenty-three pound lake
trout Both Of these fish were taken in
the strong water of Virgin Falls, and the
aid of the current was employed by the
fish in their fight Nothing but the Grand
Discharge of Lake st. John, upper Que
bee, equals this spot for emphasizing the
power of comparatively small fish to
make the angler think he has a monster.
During the five days of fishing at this
point one Of the anglers took ffty-three
brook trout of more than three pounds in
weight. OF course many of these were re-
turned to the water; no sportsman keeps
more fish than the camp needs for food.
We threw back into the water brook trout
of more than i've pounds in weight since
we had asmany of equal size as We need
ed. If there is any other place in the
world where brook trout Of more than
Eve pounds in weight are thrown back
into the water because the camp has
more Of them than it can use, the writer
would like to hear Of it.
The biggest brook trout taken By either
Of our two anglers during the trip on the
river was q seven pound three ounce fish.

during the same period, the best Of which

Whether it is that the Indian is merely
in the habit of Fishing at these points ol
that the fishing is really better here thar
elsewhere remains for some one to explain
who has had greater leisure for explora
ton of the river. 1t is q fact however
that invariably good sport will be had
while the Indians and guides are carrying
the dufie around the rapids.
The longest carry is three miles; herr
horses are provided and everything L
oarted around. This carry is the first on
the trip UP the river. Others vary from
a mile to the mere crossing through the
middle of small island to get above some
fast water not negotiable in either direc'
ton. 1t is here that solid chunk of iron
can be seen which frst started the stsel
folks on the track Of exploration toward
the north.
The Men Of the River.
With this exception of extreme eau
tiousness, which, after all is no bad
fault and an exaggerated idea of the
danger of the river. the guides of the
