"OUR TOWN

Fishermen are reputed to the best.
story tellers in the world, and-this may be
, true with rerard to the fish that fot away

but as a onerald rule we have found then to
be moet helpful and sonest in their advices

In the dietrict around "Ouse Town” we
are very fortunate ir having an abundance
of wery pood fishing in numerous streane,
two rivera, and shout. twenty lnakea, ranzing
in size from 4 mile ecuare up to the Larges
which fe Dease Lake, about 30 miles long
and } mile wide. As all this water ie in
eparcely populated conntry, am! «ith only
two resde for accens,one, the Caustar Poad,
and the other the Stawart Foad (which is
6tid) in the process of being completed},
it is in wany instances virtually nunfiaked.
All these waters *Ses into the Aretie water

three hours travelling by car, we cross
over into the Pacific water shed, en? here
abound Rainbow Trout, Dollv Vardan out,
Steelhead, Sockeye, Cohoe, and Yine Sainon,

split in two, the fisherman who ure sninning

is, that while there are more fishernen
using spinning rear, both tynee seem to
