the glaciers of Mount Haven reaching almost to the shore. A mile
distant is Surel Lake, from which flows Surel Creek over a quite con-
siderable fall, and the pools below the fall afford excellent fly-fishing.
Near the western end, on the northern shore, is St. Thomas Bay, and
here begins the short portage by a small intermediate lake to Whitesail
Lake, a distance of roughly 1 mile. This is fine big-game country, and
bear are often seen on the steep slides.

The portage skid-road reaches Whitesail Lake at Portage Bay.
Whitesail Lake is 27 miles long and from 1 to 3 miles wide, but only
some 12 miles remain to be traversed from Portage Bay to Whitesail
River. Here again the scenery is magnificent, with the Coast Moun-
tains and their hanging glaciers rising precipitously in the near distance.
The fishing is fine, and goat, grizzly and black bear are common in the
neighbourhood.

Whitesail River is entered from the north end, after threading a
group of rocky islets, a fast stream with 12 miles of swift water, the
passage of which is exciting but in no way hazardous.

Sinclair Lake is simply a wider reach of the Whitesail River, with

some good camping places, and often quite good fly-fishing. The
Tahtsa River enters from the west and flows into Ootsa Lake as a wide,
shallow stream, through swampy meadows and dense growths of willow,
