HUNTING AND FISHING

Of RINCE RUPERT
is the headquar-

ters and centre
of a hunter’s paradise.
Within a few hours’
boat journey one can
obtain all classes of
shooting during — the
hunting season, includ-
ing bear, goat, deer,
geese, and all species of
ducks. There are splen-
did streams and large
trout lakes where one may enjoy
trout fishing of the best.

At Lakelse Lake, 90 miles east of
Prince Rupert, on the C.N.R., there
is obtainable good grizzly bear and
goat shooting and excellent trout
fishing, added to which there is situ-
ated at the south end of the lake a
mineral hot spring. A hotel has
been erected at this spot where tour-
ists may enjoy an excellent holiday.

From Hazelton or Prince George
one may obtain pack horses and
guides, and in a day or so be in good
moose and cariboo country.

Good salt water fishing can be
obtained anywhere along the coast,
black bass, cod of all descriptions,
flatfish, and salmon when in season.

A good day's Hunting near Prince Rupert.

While there is fishing at a great
many accessible points, the best is
usually at lakes or streams back
from the beaten track. Khtada Lake
is reached by launch from Prince
Rupert, a four mile tramp over a
rough trail brings the sportsman to
a small lake up which he must pad-
dle and make a short portage to a
larger lake where the fishing is ex-
cellent.

Bill’s Lake is reached from Wark
Canal and necessitates a rather long
motorboat ride and a tramp of a
mile or two over a trail.

Rainbow Lake and stream are
nearer the city, 21 miles away, on
the Canadian National Railway, and
often excellent fishing can be ob-
tained there.

Many points on the Ecstall
River and the lakes adjoin-
ing give splendid sport amid
the finest possible scenery.

In every case the visitor
should have a guide who
knows the country and the
manner of getting to the fish-
ing pools. Local residents
make these trips alone and
enjoy excellent sport during
the fishing season.
