Cane River Lake
louisiana Most Famous Fish Preserve
at Natchitoches.
BY u. p. BREAZEALE

Where do you get your fish? is as
important question to the citizens of
the cities of the interior sections. as is
the question: Where do you get your
vegetables? is to the jewellers of the
great communities beside the sea.
Both are pertinent to EACH.
How many of the readers of The
Commercial Review know of wonder
full fishing preserve which is almost at
their very door? There are some we
know, for they have come, seen and
enjoyed, but they have not ''spread
the news" fearing, perhaps. too many
come and spoil the sport, and who are
like the average fisherman who keeps
his successful Fishing place" secret.
We would say there is no danger of
overcrowding, there is room and plenty
Of fish for all.
When we describe this lake as
.'worderful, it is not vainglorious
term. but truly descriptive.
THIS lake is close to Natchitoches,
Louisiana.
A lake in the very center of rural
North Louisiana, yet in the heart of
an urban population. running in its
winding course of thirty odd miles,
through a lovely country in which
stately ante .bellum mansions still ex-
list, lending splendor and picturesque
aspect to the scene, and where the
highest ideals and the best traditions
of the cold South" still survive
This stream abounds with every kind
of edible and game fish; trout Tor black
bass), striped bass, white perch.
sogc,le-eye, Dream, gaspargou, Tor
fresh-water red fish) channel cat and
numerous others, which afford oil the
thrill of casting, fly fishing. or still
fishing, the most exacting fisherman
could desire and from which the negro
creole cooks, who still exist IN this
section and can be had to preside o'el
the cuisine, concoct the most tempting
and delicious court boulllion, chowders
and the richest of stews to tickle the
palate of the most fastidious epicure.
Soft she'll and red gill hardshell turtles
can be had to make soup. stews, turtle
au gratin, Or turtle steaks.
The saline qualities of the waters Of
this lake make the happy medium be-
tween the salt water and fresh water
fish, which add to the quality fol
edible purposes.
Visitors will find desirable camping
grounds. at several points along thi:
stream, where tents can be spread, o.
comfortable camp houses can be hat
at moderate cost. Boats and FISHING
outfits and bait can be readily secured
For those who prefer to have quarter;

in Natchitoches, pleasant accommoda-
tons may be found liz the several
hotels. The fishing grounds are easily
reached by car. as model roads border
both banks Of this stream. Those who
prefer urban habitation and fishing
combined can step from the hotel door
and within a hundred yards cast his
line and enjoy the Invest sport.
This lake Is not only wonderful as a
fish preserve, but it is noted and
famous for it's remarkable scenic
beauty and picturesqeness. 1t has al
ready-become famed for these charac-
teristics, with the stamp of so noted
an authority as Ellsworth Woodward.
head of the School of Art of Newcomb
College, New Orleans, who says: Il
have never seen a spot where, in so
small compass of space, one can find
so much that is paintable as on the
banks of this winding Cane river
Under the inspiration of such en-
dorsement Southern Art Colony was
formed by artists from several South.

colony was held this summer, from
July first to fifteenth, and it will be
held annually. At the close of this
years term an exhibit was held and q
hundred or more pictures were exhib.
tied, attracting wide attention, anC
many of the pictures were bought by
art connoisseurs
The reader is asking: "Where i:
this wonderful lake?" We would
reply: 'In the heart of the parish OF
Natchitoches, rich in the folklore OF
the earliest days of America, where
the highest and best traditions Of the
old South, the truest of pure Ameri-
canism still survive, and richer still ir
