pleasanter, and can be cordially recommended for its fine fly-fishing.
But for those who have the time and are prepared for the more strenu-
ous passages of the longer trip, there is the route through Tetachuck,
Eutsuk, and Whitesail Lakes. A description of these will be given later.

A channel less than a mile in length, with one short riffle, connects
Euchu Lake with Natalkuz, and it seems likely that in the remote past
the two were one. Gradually, however, in the course of ages the
alluvial deposits of the Entiako River, which enters at this point, have
dammed the western portion and made them two separate bodies.
Euchu Lake is 13 miles long and about a mile wide, with fine fly-fishing
where Chelaslie Lake enters from the north-west.

Natalkuz Lake, 12 miles long, lies at a slightly lower level than
Euchu and Ootsa Lakes (although in the case of the former the differ-
ence is imperceptible) and thus receives the waters of both. Its shore-
line is very irregular, and from its lower end the Nechako River flows
north to Fort Fraser, where it turns abruptly east to join the Fraser
River at Prince George. Fine fishing is to be had on the headwaters

Thunder Mountain.
