 ^HE foUoivmg pages are written as a guide to those who map 
 desire to participate in the unrivalled fishing and hunting 
 ajfforded in the numerous salmon and trout streams, rivers, and 
 lakes, in the forests of New Brunstvick. 
 
 I shall not occupy the time of the reader hy setting forth the 
 pleasures of angling and hunting; the rest to the weary man of 
 business from the toils of city life, or to the overworked student ■ 
 nor the joys to the lover of the heautifnl afforded by a week or 
 more spent on the unexcelled salmon and trout streams, rivers 
 and lakes of New Brunswick -ivhere the scenery is simply mag'- 
 nificent, where 1 believe, independent of the angling and hunting. 
 It will repay any tourist who loves the beautiful (and what true 
 angler does not ?) for a season spent in this charming locality. 
 
 And I shall as briefly as possible endeavor to describe the locali- 
 ties tvhich ivill repay careful and repented inspection, also the nne 
 hotels reached via the New Brunswick Railway and its connections

 fishing on that line and its connections, the Kent No: thern°Rail- 
 way and the Caraquet Railway, to the best hunting grounds in 
 the Dominion. 
 
 This railway has now f n excellent service. Its road-bed is 
 in fine condition ; steel rails the entire distance ; elegant coaches 
 on main line and all its branches. Permanent structures, mod- 
 ern improvements, and superior equipments are constantly being 
 added. Close connections are made at Vanceboro with the 
 Maine Central Raili'oad, and forms with that the only all-rail 
 line between St. John, N. B., and Boston, and, in connection 
 with the Intercolonial Railway of Canada, the only rail line be- 
 tween points in the Maritime Provinces and the New England 
 and Middle States. The completion of the new cantflever 
 bridge and railway extension at St. John, by which the annoy- 
 ance of team or ferry transfer is obviated, makes it possible to 
 give a faster and better service than by any other route. There

 Is SIX miles from Vanceboro. Here there is a fine dlnincr hall 
 and hotel. This, and the Vanceboro Dining Hall and Hote', 
 at junction of the Maine Central Railroad, have been reiitted. 
 Meals are always ready and served hot to passengers on arrival 
 of all trams. Tourists and s v)rtsmen here find excellent quar- 
 ters. Within easy listance can be found game and fine fishim'. 
 Here the Company have an extensive plant, and j)ropose to im- 
 prove It untd it will be second to none in the Dominion. At 
 this point now are their tine offices, station, hotel, machine, 
 ear, and pamt shops, and foundries. This is the central point 
 of the company, and radiating from here are their four lines- 
 north, south, east, and west— and as I propose to show the at- 
 tractions for the sportsman and tourist on each line, I will first 
 take the main line to St. John. 
 
 Leaving McAdam, the first town is Magaguadavio. on the 
 shores of the lake. This and Bear Lake are the headwaters of 
 the Magaguadavic River. This s -ction afifords fine sport for the 
 angler and hunter, as do Bear and Cranberry Lakes, reached 
 from Harvey, the next station. Eight miles from Harvey, by a 
 good turnpike, is the north branch of Oromocto. This lake is 
 twelve miles long and three miles wide, and abounds with trout 
 of the largest size. Bears, deer, and ot.ier game are plenty. 
 
 Three miles south on the Oromocto. and flowing into the Ma- 
 gaguadavic River, are the Kedron Lakes. Big Kedron is four 
 miles long, the smaller lake three. These lakes, nestled like 
 gems between the mountains, abound in trout of the largest size 
 They are rarely visited by sportsmen, and are said to present a 
 variety of charming views along their shore line. 
 
 The next station of note is Fredkricton Junction ; branch 
 here to Freaericton. Continuing *oward St. Jolin, we pass sev- 
 eral towns and arrive at Ga8pareu.f , in the valley of the Nerepis 
 Kiver ; from here it is ten miles to South Branch Oromocto Lake. 
 J. his lake is ten miles long and three miles wide, and is alive 
 
 
rorv 
 
 
 ) 
 
 with trout from two to six pounds ; game rtrithout limit. It ha» 
 riohly wooded sliores tliat are sheltered by a series of crraduallv 
 s.op.njj hills, covered with luxuriant foliage, and its w^aters are 
 clear and cool. 
 
 Wklsi-oki), the next point reached, boasts of fine scenery 
 Among the mountains around Wolsford are a considerable num- 
 ber of sjmiU lakes, surrounded by forests of picturesque beauty. 
 In the cold waters of the lakes are o:amy trout in profusion. In 
 the forest aroi d the lakes 
 
 " Four limpid lakes ! four Naiades, 
 Or Sylvan Deiti«'s, aro there," 
 
 Where bears and other game await the sportsman. From here 
 we move along tl.e ba. .d of the Nerepis River, which displays 
 a long stretch of glittering waters for some distance, XW we 
 strike the St. John at Westfield, at a point known as th '.,ng 
 Reach." The St. John is first seen here in all its bea!:cy, at-d 
 all along its banks to the city is beautiful scenery. As the 
 grassy islands and intervales increase in size and beauty, the 
 bimks assume a loftier and grander appearance on this, the 
 "Rhine of America," and a magnificent imnorama is presented 
 as the eye looks over the picturesque regioa. 
 
 Fairvilll is the next point. We cross the St. John here on 
 the magnificent cantilever bridge, a fine cut of which we show, 
 one of the great achievements in railroad engineering. 
 
 Just below is the Suspension Bridge, which span's the rocky 
 gorge at the mouth of the St. John River, and iy a splendid 
 specimen of engineering skill. It was built in 18o2, at a cost of 
 $80,000 ; has a span of 040 feet ; is 70 feet above high water ; 
 IS hung on ten cables, supported by four towers of solid masonry 
 .j3 feet high, and contains 570 miles of wire. The greatest in- 
 trest centers in the falls and their wonderful changes. The 
 St. John is over 450 miles long, and drains over 15,000,000 
 acres in its course to the sea. This immense body of water 
 empties into the harbor through a gorge only 450 feet wide in 
 one place. 
 
 The falls at the mouth o; the St. John are not " falls" in the 
 ordinary acceptation of the terra ; tliey result from the narrow 
 and shallow outlet through which the tide, which rises with great 
 rapidity and to an altitude of twenty-eight feet, has to pass. 
 Tiie outlet is not sufriciently broud or deep to admit the tidal 
 
I 
 
9 
 
 waters with thei'- rise, hence a fall inwards is produced during 
 the flow ; at the ebb, the tide recedes faster than the outlet of 
 the river can admit of the escape of the waters accumulated 
 within the inner basin, hence a fall outward. 
 
 The falls are passable four times in twenty-four hours, about 
 fifteen minutes at each time, namely : at about three and one- 
 half hours on the flood-tide, and at about two and one-half on 
 the ebb, when steamers, sailing vessels and rafts pass up or 
 <?ovyn beneath the bridge; but woe betide the unlucky craft 
 which attempts the passage too soon or too late, as almost cer- 
 tain destruction awaits it. The best time to visit the falls is at 
 low or ebb tide, when 
 
 . . . white with foam, the whole abyaa 
 Seems tortured, and with headlong veiit 
 Dasiies o'er the rocks, worn and rent. 
 With deafening- noise and liRhtning leap 
 Headlong with unresisted leap, 
 The waters seek the ocean wide. 
 
 The changed appearance of both sides of the gorge at high 
 tide is forcibly delineated in the following lines : 
 
 " Yet, wild waters, thou hast calm hours, 
 Banished seems thy dreaded power; 
 Silent and still, as if asleep, 
 No ripple on thy angry deep."

 St Mk% 
 
 The " Liverpool of America," is the terminus of the New Bruns- 
 wick Railway, and you alight in the magnificent passenger depot 
 of the Intercolonial Railway, from which all trains of the New 
 Brunswick Railway arrive and depart. 
 
 The offices of the New Brunswick Railway Company are lo- 
 cated near this depot, in an elegant brick block devoted exclu- 
 sively to their use. 
 
 In population, wealth, and commercial and political impor- 
 tance, St. John stands at the head of all other cities in New 
 Brunswick. It is " the natural sea-port of the Canadas." Its 
 situation is commanding and beautiful. It has one of the finest 
 harbors in the world, situated at the mouth of the St. John 
 River, which, with its tributaries, is navigable for steamers over 
 800 miles, and for boats and canoes about a thousand more. 
 Its harbor is guarded by Partridge Island, which stands like a 
 sentinel at its mouth, and it is eighty feet above low water. Ou 
 it is the most powerful light in New Brunswick. The city is 
 literally " founded on a rock," is well laid out, contains a fine 
 park, beautiful residences, shaded streets, elegant churches, sub- 
 stantial business blocks, and fine hotels. At the Victoria Hotel 
 tourists and sportsmen will find elegant quarters, all modern 
 improvements, and an unexceptional cuisine and service ; and at 
 Jos. Dalzell's, No. 57 Germain Street, the best fish rods and 
 tackle in the city. 
 
 As a summer resort St. John possesses many attractions. 
 The heat is never oppressive during the day, and the nights are 
 always cool. The highest temperature recorded during the last 
 ten years was 84 degrees, in August, 1875 ; the average tem- 
 perature for the months of June, July, August, and September 
 being from 52 to 61 degrees. Hay fever is unknown, and the 
 merry voice of the mosquito is never heard in the streets. 
 
 There are many charming drives in the vicinity : 
 
 The Mahogany Road, which runs from the Suspension 
 Bridge through Fairville southwesterly to Spruce Lake, is a 
 favorite and very pleasant drive, affording some very fine views 
 of the Bay of Fundy and its numerous coves and inlets. 
 
 Spruce Lake, eight miles from St. John, is a very pretty 
 sheet of water, connected at its upper end with Ludgate Lake. 
 
11 
 
 Silver Falls, a beautiful cascade on the Little River, three 
 miles from town, on the Loch Lomond road, and Loch Lomond, 
 ten miles from town, are well worth visiting. 
 
 Loch Lomond is a favorite summer resort on a lake of the 
 same name, ten miles from St. John. The scenery is very fine. 
 A magnificent view is to be had from the top of Ben Lomond 
 Mountaich. These lakes were the favorite resorts of the early 
 settlers of St. John, and might be made a very attractive sum- 
 mer resort. The scenery is pleasing ; the sunset and moonlight 
 views on Ludgate Lake are superb. Carleton's water supply is 
 obtained from here. 
 
 Negrotown Point and Breakwater, and Fort Duflferin, oppo- 
 site Partridge Island, are worth visiting. 
 
 Mount Pleasant, as the highlands in the rear are called, is 
 the home of many of St. John's business men. There are sev- 
 eral handsome residences here. 
 
 Lily Lake, in the rear of Mount Pleasant, is a beautiful 
 sheet of water, and a favorite resort, summer and winter, of the 
 citizens of St. John and Portland. 
 
 The beautliul tree-embowered rural cemetery, St. John's 
 " Pere la Chaise," is one and a half miles from the city. It is 
 an enchanted spot ; nature and art have joined hands within its 
 sacred precincts. 
 
 There are hundreds of lakes and streams within a day's ride 
 of St. John, where good fishing may be had, and good duck, 
 woodcock, and partridge shooting is within easy reach. 
 
 There are three lakes in the Loch Lomond chain, and numer- 
 ous other lakes and streams near by, in all of which trout of 
 large size abound. Here are found the white trout caught in no 
 other waters. Woodcock, partridge, snipe, and duck are plenty. 
 
 Spruce I/ake, eight miles from St. John, is a very pretty 
 sheet of water, connected at its upper end with Ludgate Lake. 
 These two lakes are about five miles long, in the form of a V, 
 are verv deep, and abound with fish of various kinds. Trout 
 vary from one-half to four pounds in weight, but are rather shy. 
 The best fishing grounds are at the foot of the high bluff on the 
 north side of Spruce Lake ; the mouth of Holniau Brook on the 
 south side of Ludgate ; Perch Point, directly opposite ; and in 
 the Fishing Pond at the head of the lake. White perch (silver 
 bass) afford fine sport ; five pounders are not rare, and will 
 sometimes rise to the fly. But space forbids a further descrip- 
 tion of attractions, of which the.e are many.

 Leaving McAdam Junction, it is 22 miles to Canterbury, a 
 small village of 800 inhabitants. The country around Canter- 
 bury, within a radius of 20 miles, is dotted with small lakes and 
 streams, most of which flow into the Shogomoc River, a tribu- 
 tary of the St. John. Most of these abound in trout. 
 
 An hour's drive from Canterbury, on a good road, is Skiff 
 Lake, where Joe Jefferson has a cottage. The lake is remarka- 
 ble for its flne scenery, translucent water, and the sportsman's 
 land-locked salmon, ^.t is a tributary of the St. Croix, There 
 is no dearth of sport in this vicinity in the open season. The 
 forest affords splendid hunting grounds. 
 
 The next station of account is Debec Junction, 40 miles 
 from McAdam ; branch here to Houlton, eight miles. 
 
 Houlton is one of the most thrifty towns in the State, and 
 has made more progress in the past ten years than any other 
 town. It has a fine court-house, opera house, and as good busi- 
 ness blocks and fine residences as there are in the State. A good 
 system of water works and electric lights. The streets are broad 
 and shaded. Its business men are enterprising. It has two 
 excellent local papers, the Pioneer and the Times, the former 
 edited by George H. Gilman, Esq., the latter by Theo. Cary, 
 Esq., and with its population of 4000 does more business than 
 any other town of that size in Maine. It presents many at- 
 tractions for tourists. From the old fort on Garrison Hill the 
 lovers of the grnnd and the beautiful can obtain as fine a view 
 as this country affords Standing on the old parade ground 
 (where in "ye olden time" Generals Joe Hooker, McDowell, 
 Robert E. Lee, McGruder, and many others who had a national 
 reputation as soldiers in the late war, were stationed for years), 
 a magnificent panorama meets the eye in every direction. 
 
 A survey is now in progress for an extension from the pres- 
 ent Houlton terminus of the New Brunswick Railway down into 
 
13 
 
 the town, and if favorable arrangementfe for right of way can be 
 made, the work will be completed next spring. 
 
 Among the attractions for tourists and sporting men in the 
 vicinity is Nickerson Lake, four miles southwest from the town, 
 a beautiful sheet of water four miles long and three wide, full of 
 salmon trout. On its pretty ohores Houlton people have tasty 
 rustic cottages, and a small steamer for parties. Three miles 
 from here is Drew Lake, four by two miles, full of speckled 
 beauties, and then Skitticook and West Branch Lake, where is 
 also ii small steamer, and for a long distance beyond are a chain 
 of lakes, with trout in abundance ; and moose, caribou, deer, 
 bears, and partridge can be taken in the open season. Boats 
 can be obtained at all points on the lakes. Brooks are plenty, 
 which furnish good fly fishing within easy distance, where the 
 duck shooting is excellent. There are also numerous ponds in 
 the vicinity, stocked with black and silver bass. There are fine 
 drives to Hodgdon, Woodstock, and Bhiine, where back from 
 the roads are deer, caribou, duok, and grouse. 
 
 In fact, within a short distance of Houlton, in either direc- 
 tion, are lakes and streams, in w.uch trout in large numbers can 
 be taken with the fly, and where game, both large and small, 
 reward the hunter. At Houlton are two first-class hotels, the 
 Snell House and Exchange where tourists and sportsmen can 
 find excellent quarters ; and by calling on Dr. F. F. Innis, a 
 thorough sportsman and gentleman, they will receive all the 
 information they want. 
 
 Returning to Debec Junction, we take the main line north. 
 
 Woodstock, eleven miles above, is the next place of note. 
 It is situated on the banks of the picturesque St. John River, 
 which is rightly named the "Rhine of America." Its popula- 
 tion is 3000. It is one of the pretty places that New Brunswick 
 boasts. Its location is unsurpassed. Its streets are broad, and 
 lined with trees. Substantial business blocks, elegant private 
 residences, costly churches, the Holly system of water-works, 
 electric lighting, etc., attest Woodstock's' prosperity. The town 
 is a manufacturing center, has Cornell's iron foundry, agricul- 
 tural works, steam mill, furniture manufactory, etc. 
 
 The drive." in the vicinity are charming. Tourists comii-g 
 here will find the Gibson House, J. H. ^^''ilbur, proprietor, a 
 home ; and the lovers of beautiful scenery cannot select a place 
 that surpasses Woodstock for natural attractions.

 Just above here we cross the St. John River and at thia 
 pent, and all the way to the terminus of the NeVBl-unswick

 TheTobique is a favorite resort of both the salmon and trout. 
 It is a large river, and is remarkable for its clear water and 
 beautiful scenery. 
 
 TOBIQUE NARROWS. 
 
 The Narrows, situated about one mile from the mouth, is a 
 picturesque place. They are about half a mile long, from fiO to 
 100 feet wide, the walls being in some places 1.50 feet high. 
 Eleven miles above the Narrows are the Red Rapids, a series of 
 rapids extending at intervals for about two miles over a bright 
 red sandstone.

 The other branches of the Tobique are accessible for canoes 
 for long distances, and have magnificent salmon and trout fish- 
 ing. In the forest back from the Tobique, from Its mouth to 
 its source, it is literally filled with large and small game. 
 
 Returning to the main line at Andover, it is five miles to 
 Aroostook Junction ; branch to Fort Fairfield, Caribou, and 
 Presque Isle. Here is a port of entry, and a marked improve- 
 
19 
 
 ment is notioeuble. Since the present management took the 
 line, a fine new modern station lias been built, the grounds 
 graded, and a coaling station acMed with tlie latest improve- 
 ment. Near here the Aroostooli River, a stream of equal mag- 
 nitude with the Tobique, enters the St. John. This stream the 
 branch of the New Brunswicii Railway follows to Presque Isle 
 !ts terminus, ;)3 miles. It is seven miles from here to

 It is a pretty town, pleasantly situated, overlooking Aroos- 
 took River; trout brooks near, in all directions. It is three 
 hours dnve to Portage Lake, where salmon rise to the fly, and 
 n the woods there are moose, caribou, and deer, and on the 
 lakes, ducks. Mosquitoes and flies are unknown. Here are 
 headquarters for traveling men for the upper countr

 ^resqix^ Isle, 
 
 Presque Isle, the terminus of the branch railroad, is one of 
 the busiest towns in Aroostook County, and has tlic phiekiest 
 business men, as the solid business blocks that have been built 
 since the tire, the fine private reside nces witii well-kept grounds^ 
 the churches, hotels, and school buildint^s, opera house, and sys- 
 tem of water-works, testify. The New Hrunsvyick Railway 
 Company are improving theii' station at this point, and con- 
 nected with the flue service they give to the whol upper country, 
 cannot but satisfy all parties. You can leave here in the morn- 
 ing and take supper in Boston, nearly 500 miles away, and ride 
 all day through beautiful scenery, over a fine road-bed, on steel 
 rails, in elegant coaches. The town boasts of two good hotels, 
 the Phair Hotel, a cozy, nome-likc place, and the Prosque Isle 
 Hotel, a new house, well furnished and kept. 
 
 The Presque Isle Stream, which runs through the town, ia 
 full 0£ trout, and there is good salmon fishing in Aroostook 
 River at this point. To Squaw Pan Lake is 14 miles, a very 
 pretty drive, and fine trout-fishing. Four hours' drive brings 
 you to Portage Lake. There is picturesque scenery all the way. 
 Here is said to be the be^t fly-fishing in the country. (Henry 
 Hayward •\t this point will furnish supplies, canoes, and guides 
 at reasonable prices.) The best flies for this section are red 
 and brown hackle, green drake, and coachman. 
 
 There are several excellent fishing trips to be made from 
 Presque Isie, one via Portage Lake, Fis'i River, and Eagle Lake. 
 These waters and their tributaries furnish splendid fly-fishing, 
 . and with their picturesque scenery ana falls make it one of the 
 best. The other trip is via the Aroostook River, Salmon and 
 Beaver BrooK-, IV;; and LUtli Machips Rivers, and the waters 
 above t(/ il'< r.aki i Mu .iungan. Echo, Millnokett, Millmigasett, 
 etc. At all these points is superb fly fishing, and for scenery it 
 is unequalled. On either of these trips largv- and small game 
 are plenty in the open season, and the sportsi, i can always be 
 sure of taking all they like, as the forests an full of moose, 
 bears, caribou, deer, grouse, ducks, and woodcock. One hunter 
 has killed 160 bears within a few miles of town. 
 
 Returning to Aroostook Junction, we take the main line, 
 crossing th° St. John River at this point. It is nineteen miles 
 to Grand Falls, along the majestic river.

 distance from one side of the gorge to the other, in a straight 
 line, is 300 feet. The Wells, Pulpit Rock, Caves, and Coffee

 which is 126 feet above the water. Plxcepting in very dry sum- 
 mers there is an unbroken curtain of water from one side to the 
 other, fallinor into a whirpool of terrific power. The mountains 
 in tlie vicinity are the Salmon River Mountains, and are about 
 nine miles away. They form a continuous range, terminating 
 on the south in a hill called Blue Bell. The pale-blue range 
 north of these, and just on the horizon, are the Blue Mountains,

 hood, upon which there is very good fishing, although in none 
 of them, except vSalraon River, seven miles away, are the trout 
 large. The Rapides des Femmes Stream is three miles below 
 the village, on the western bank of the river. There is a beau- 
 tiful fall here, about 100 feet high. Here is located the salmon 
 hatchery, which, of course, is well worthy a visit. In the fall 
 large flocks of ducks frequent this portion of the St. John. 
 
 Tourists coming here will find the Grand Falls Hotel to 
 be strictly first-class in every respect. It contains forty rooms, 
 modern furniture, electric bells, a fine livery in connection; 
 guides and boats furnished sportsmen. E. B. Mayberry is a 
 model landlord*, and none go away from his house dissatisfied. 
 Looking from the cupola of this hotel is one of the grandest 
 views in the Dominion. 
 
 r^: Leaving Grand Falls we cross the St. John again and con- 
 tinue on the north side to the terminus of the line. It is eleven 
 miles to St. Leonard. Across the river here is Van Buren, a 
 town of about 2000 inhabitants. A fine Catholic College has 
 just been erected here. Two miles above St. Leonard the Grand 
 River enters the St. John. (Up this river is the favorite route 
 of the sportsman to the head-waters of the Restigouche.) Six- 
 teen miles above Grand River is Green River, which we notice 
 on another page. Four miles above is St. Basil. Here is the 
 convent and school of the Sacred Heart, an institution of more 
 than a local fame. The chapel of St. Basil, at the same place, 
 is a very tine structure of wood.

 The terminus of the New Brunswick Railway, 163 miles from 
 McAdam and 536 miles from Boston, yet the enthusiast of the 
 rod and gun, who wish to visit this section, can leave Boston in 
 the elegant coaches of the New Brunswick Railway in the morn- 
 ing, and the next night arrive at Edmundston (a fine cut of 
 which we show on preceding page) in season for a good hot 
 supper at Hotel Babin. This is one of the finest spots in the 
 Dominion. The mercury never goes above 90'-' in the hottest 
 days, and the evenings are always cool. Not a case of con- 
 sumption was ever known among the natives, so salutary is the 
 climate, and persons with weak lungs always recover here. 
 
 Edmundston is the center of the hunting and fishino- region, 
 in fact the '' hunter's paradise." There are four principal routes 
 from here. The first is the Squatook, to reach which we leave 
 Edmundston in canoes via the Madawaska Stream. It is fifteen 
 miles to the carry at Grand Rousseau ; four miles across carry 
 to Mud Lake ; 8 miles from here to Squatook Stream, via Bards- 
 ley's Brook. 
 
 From the mouth of Bardsley's Brook to the head of Big 
 Squatook Lake is three miles. Nine miles down Big Squatook, 
 from here to Sugar Loaf Lake eleven ir'iles, containing a great 
 many rapids and small falls. There is good fishing alf the way. 
 Sugar Loaf and the two succeeding lakes have a united length 
 of ten miles. On the east side of Sugar Loaf Lake is Sugar 
 Loaf Mountain, of picturesque contour. (On all these lakes 
 and waters in open season is fine duck shooting and splen- 
 did fly-fishing.) At the base of Sugar Loaf Mountain is a small 
 brook full of trout, and on the lake is an island. Here are 
 splendid facilities for camping and very few flies. At the end 
 of these lakes you come to the forks of Tooladie River. About 
 one-half mile from the Squatook the Tooladie River divides into 
 two branches, the Ea^le and the Horton branch. The Horton 
 branch is a very rapid stream, with very clear water, and fine 
 fishing for upwards of twenty miles. On the Eagle branch the 
 fishing is not as good. 
 
 It is nine miles of dead water from the mouth of the Squa- 
 took to the second Tooladie Lake, which is three miles long, 
 communicating by a short thoroughfare with the first Toolnd'ie 
 Lake. There is not much fishing on these lakes. Just below 
 
I m 
 
 28 
 
 1l> 
 
 ^ 
 
 the first Tooladie, rapids begin, ending with the Tooladie Falls 
 one mile below the first lake. 
 
 Grand fishing may be had on the rapids and at the falls. 
 It is three miles from Tooladie Falls to Lake Temiscouata. This 
 lake is twenty-eight miles long and two miles wide, with fine 
 Alpine scenery. Tooladie River enters the lake fifteen miles 
 from the outlet. Four miles below the Tooladie, and on the o\. 
 posite side, is the village of DeTour PeLae. Here is the Lake- 
 side Hotel, kept by P. Cloutier, who lias extra accommodations 
 for sportsmen. The scenery in the vicinity is magnificent. 
 Four miles below Cloutier's is Mill Brook; extra fly-fishing 
 here. Seven miles from here to foot of lake ; from here it is 
 twenty miles back to Edmundston, making a route of over a 
 hundred miles, and, with the exception of a few carries, down 
 stream, and dead water all the way, through a beautiful country, 
 with superb fishing and hunting all the way. 
 
 Route No. 2, from Edmundston, is one much sought after 
 by the veteran anglers. Leaving Edmundston, it is thirteen 
 miles up the St. John to Baker Brook ; seventeen miles from 
 here to the forks of the Jerry Brook, including two falls and a 
 portage. Six miles from here to Jerry Lake, north, is angling 
 superior to any in the vicinity, and may be correctly called 
 virgin. Two miles from the forks of Jerry Brook to Baker 
 Lake, six by one-half miles in area, across the upper part of the 
 lake, two miles to Kitchen Brook, thence up the brook two miles. 
 From here there is a carry of two miles to Cabineau Lake, and 
 the vicinity is the home of moose, deer, and caribou. Fourteen 
 miles across Cabineau Lake, is the clearest water in the country, 
 reminding one of the water of Lake Tahoe. The outlet of the 
 lake is Cabineau River, twenty-nine miles down the river to Lake 
 Temiscouata. From the time you leave Baker Brook till within 
 four miles of Lake Temiscouata, you are in the virgin forest ; 
 not a house is to be seen. It is .--ixteen miles from here to the 
 foot of the lake, and twenty-two from there to Edmundston. 
 This route has but few carries and is also an easy one. 
 
 Route No. 3, from Edmundston, crosses the St. John River 
 at Edmundston. It is only ten miles via Frenchville to the Fish 
 River chain of lakes, and from here it is a continuous route 
 down stream forty miles to Fort Krnt. Here you strike the St. 
 John River, and it is twenty-one miles back to Edmundston. 
 
 These make three routes that cannot be surpassed, and 
 surely they are the paradise for sportsmen.

 Take a team and drive thirty-six miles on a good road to the 
 mouth of the St. Francis ; five miles from here by canoe, in 
 quick vater, to Glazier Lake, area five by one mile, where is 
 fine trout fishing, and scenery equal to any in this province. 
 One mile below foot of Glazier Lake is Fall Brook ; from here 
 to foot of Bean Lake is six miles ; a series of ponds connected 
 by rapids ; very good trout fishing. Bean Lake is six miles 
 long, full of trout. Four miles from the head of Bean Lake is 
 a small settlement ; from here a portage road leads to Cabineau 
 Lake. From the head of Bean Lake it is seventeen ralies to 
 Boundary Lake. About half way between Bean and Boundary 
 Lakes are the Kelley Rapids, two miles long ; splendid fishing. 
 Boundary Lake is nine miles long, and the terminus of the route. 
 The St. Francis scenery is fine.

 ^n%u ^liu, 
 
 t50 celebrated for its fiuc angling, enters the St. John sixteen 
 miles above Grand River (nine miles below Edmundston). It 
 IS remarkable for the color of its waters, which are readily dis- 
 tinguishable from the waters of the St. John for a distance of 
 two or three miles from the confluence with that river. 
 
 Green River can be ascended for a distance of seventy-five 
 miles. About the whole distance the trout fishing is unrivalled 
 m any other tributary of the St. John. 
 
 There are two routes for sportsmen to take to ascend this 
 river. One is, take the Portage Road five miles below Ed- 
 mundston, at St. Basil, which, after passing over some lofty 
 ridges, leads the tourist into the valley of the Green River thir- 
 teen miles from its mouth ; a pleasant sylvan retreat. Here 
 you are surrounded by landscapes of indescribable grandeur. 
 Ascending the river from this point the fishing steadily improves, 
 until at last, after passing the forks, twenty miles above the 
 terii nus of the portage, you come to a long series of splendid 
 pools, in which the trout range in weight from one to five 
 pounds. The best fishing is on the right hand forji. Between 
 the portage and the forks there is a fall, necessitating a carry. 
 
 On the left hand branch there are some picturesque lakes, 
 where ducks are plenty. Twenty miles above the forks the 
 right hand branch divides again. The forks are known as the 
 Pemwit. From the Pemwit a portage leads to the Quatawam- 
 kedgwick, a very large branch of the Restigouche, and the gov- 
 ernment reserve for salmon and trout. 
 
 The scenery along this river is equal to that of any river in 
 New Brunswi'jk ; steep, thickly wooded hills, rising in "places to 
 the height ol seven hundred or eight hundred feet above the 
 water, (l-om the time you leave the falls you are in a fine 
 game country all the way.) Another route for rcachino- here 
 18 via Edmundston, striking the river at the falls. Good guides 
 and canoes can be obtained at Edmundston (guides who -\: take 
 one to the best pools for fishing, and to fine duck shoot. .<r and 
 larger game) ; supplies of all kinds can be obtained at' Ed- 
 mundston of Narcisse Marquis, provisions, groceries, canned 
 goods, liquids, and fishing tackle. About two miles below Ed- 
 
32 
 
 mundston the Iroquois River enters the St. Jolm f re ra the east. 
 Although tiie trout in this river are not as large as those of 
 the Madawaska and Green River, yet they afford ample oppor- 
 tunity for a few days' sport for those who do not care to rough 
 it on the other rivers.

 Change cars at McAdam Junction and go via Watts Junction 
 to St. Andrews, on Pasaamaquoddy Hay. It is, without doubt, 
 the finest bay on tiiis continent. Its length is fourteen miles, 
 Its breadth seven miles. It is completely landlocked Iv a series 
 of beautiful islands, which serve also as a protection against the 
 fogs of the Bay of Fundy. The islands, which exclude the fog, 
 are also a protection against the sea. 
 
 Owing to its position, the waters of the bay being on either 
 side, the climate is delightfully cool, even in the hottest of 
 weather. There are numerous shady drives in the town and 
 suburbs, over fine roads ; to Chamcook Mountain, five miles 
 distant, is a favorite spot for tourists, from which you have a 
 panoramic view— one of the finest in North America. Sea fish 
 abound in all the passages through the islands leading to this 
 bay, which afford to a man of leisure many happy hours, catch- 
 ing these gems of the ocean. To the scientific man, the rocks 
 and minerals of these lovely shores present an unfailing source 
 of great delight. 
 
 This historic town is becoming a noted summer resort for 
 tourists from the United States and Upper Canada, and is in- 
 creasing its population very fast. St. Andrews is also becom- 
 ing noted for the cure of hay fever. It has, yearly, many vis- 
 itors who go there to be free from this troublesome complaint. 
 
 Is reached by the New Brunswick Railway to St. Stephen. 
 Calais IS a city of importance, socially and financially. Calais 
 and St. Stephen are one. Most of the business houses have 
 stores on both sides of the river. The business blocks, churches, 
 and private residences are of modern architecture. The streets, 
 broad and smooth, are lined with handsome shade trees. The 
 two newspapers are ably conducted. The scenery is beautiful 
 in the vicinity, and charming drives abound. It is a two hours' 
 drive to the Chain of Lakes, where there are trout and game 
 in profusion. You connect hde with the Frontier Steamboat 
 Line to Eastport and Campobello.

 wick, ie a handsome city, beautifully situated ou the banks of 
 the St. John River, eighty-four niiles above the eity of St. John 
 and sixty-seven mih»s from MeAdain Junction. It is, witliout 
 doubt, the best located city in the Dominion, eonunanding a fine 
 view of the picturesque hills in ti:e distance. Its streets are 
 broad, and cross each other at right a;igles. It is so hidden by 
 the splendid shade trees, that, were it not for the numerou** 
 church spires towering above the mass of foliage, in the sunnner, 
 one would scarcely know there was a city there, (.^ueen Street 
 is the principal business thoroughfare, running parallel with the 
 river for nearly a mile. On the right, or river side, are the 
 substantial custom house, post-otHce, normal school building, 
 officers' quarters, and several other fine edifices. These are lo- 
 cated some distance apart, and between them are fine lawns and 
 parks, with stately ehns, making it one of the handsomest busi- 
 ness streets to be found. Situated on this street is t'-y C^ueen 
 Hotel, in full view of the river and its beautiful scenery. All of 
 its apartments are first-class. It is furnished in modern ele- 
 gance, and the best attention is paid to its guests. The Harker 
 House, rn the same street, is in full view of the beautiful park 
 and river, and is furnished in modern style and kept A No. 1. 
 At Neill's hardware store, M54 Queen Street, sportsmen can pro- 
 cure a complete outfit. George A. Burkhardt, photographer, 
 Queen Street, keeps a fine line of views of the beautiful scenery 
 in the vicinity, also in the famous salmon and trout region of 
 New Brunswick. 
 
 Hon. eJ. Henry Phair, Inspector of Fisheries, T. G. Loggie 
 and Chas. W. Bramble, Esqs., of the Crown Land Office, who 
 reside here, are thoroughly conversant with the angling and 
 hunting on the Miramichi, Renous, Dungarvon, and, in fact, all 
 the rivers in New Brunswick, also the duck and goose shooting 
 at all inland lakes, Miscou Island, and other coast points. They 
 are courteous gentlemen, who cheerfully give all information 
 and assistance in their power to visiting tourists and sportsmen ; 
 as also do John A. Edwards, Esq., the genial landlord of the 
 Queen Hotel, and F. B. Coleman, Esq., "mine host" of the

 pleasure seekers. The finest drive in the vicinity is across the 
 bridge and along the picturesque Nashwaak Valley. With its 
 agreeable summer, good fishing grounds near by, and game in 
 abundance, the enthusiasts of the rod and gun and the seeker 
 after health are sure to be pleased with this beautiful country 
 and the courtesy shown them by all they come in contact with. 
 Parties coming here wishing a few days' angling, can go out on 
 the New Brunswick Railway from Gibson to upper Keswick 
 station and fish down the stream, and get good trout, or can go 
 via the Northern & Western Railway, up the Valley of the 
 Nashwaak, and meet with good success at Cross Creek, Han- 
 son's Mill Stream, the Tay, or McBanes, returning same night 
 to tredericton per rail. 
 
 Crossing the St. John at Fredericton, the New Brunswick 
 Railway has :i branch to Newburg Junction, on main line, fifty- 
 seven miles. Leaving Gib.wn it, is eight miles to the mouth of 
 the Keswick, which we follow twelve miles, where there is good 
 trout fishing. Twenty-four miles from here to Burnt Lake 
 where It is good duck shooting; four ifiiles from here north to 
 branch of the Nashwaak, called ''The Sisters," where trout 
 weighing from one to four pounds can bo taken ; it is ui3o a 
 hne game country ; eleven miles from here to the Nacanacac 
 River, where trout will alwr.ys rise to the fly ; fourt-en miles 
 from here to Newburg Junction. Change cars for the Upper 
 ot. John. ' ^ 
 
 The fishing privilege owned by Messrs. Beckwit'h of Freder- 
 icton IS reached via Northern & Western t> way from Freder- 
 icton to Boiostown ; from there by canoes. Good guides and 
 canoes can always be obtained, and at reasonable prices. It is 
 thirty miles to Little Burnt Hill, the commencement of the 
 rapids which extend eight miles, full of fine saln.on pools. 
 
 This splendid salmon fishing is also reached from Kent Sta- 
 tion, on the New Brunswick Railway, seventy-seven miles from 
 McAdam. From here it is twenty-four miles to Southwest Mir- 
 amichi, from there fifteen miles to upper part of Messrs. Beck- 
 with's privilege. J\'irtie8 wishing to fish here can do so on rea- 
 sonable terms by applying in person or by letter to Charles W.

 PORTSMEN and tourists wishing to visit the Nash- 
 waalc, Miraraiciii, Dunjiarvon, and Renous Rivers, 
 and the fine hunting and fishing in the northeastern 
 part of New Brunswick, should come to Fredericton 
 via the New Brunswick Railway, and (until the 
 magnificent railroad bridge now building is finished) cross the 
 "Rhin? of America" here to Gibson, the southern terminus 
 of the Northern & Western Railway, with carriage. Here taking 
 the fine cars of the above line, with its smooth road-bed and 
 steel rails, two and one-half miles along the beautiful winding 
 Nashwaak, you arrive at IMarysville, which for location and 
 picturesque surroundings rival any other in the section. It is 
 situated on the high banjis on either side of the silvery river 
 which flows many feet below. Here are located the extensive 
 mills of Mr. Gibson, which turn out now 200,000 feet of lum- 
 ber, 150,000 laths, and 100,000 shingles per day. The fiue 
 cotton mill of 60,000 spindles, which was started up in August, 
 1885, employs 1200 hands. Mr. Gibson built seventeen large, 
 double-tenement brick houses, the same year, for the overseers 
 of his cotton mill, and is the sole owner of the entire plant. 
 The fine residence of Mr. Gibson is on a slight eminence, sur- 
 rounded by trees and beautiful foliage. A circular drive-way 
 leads to the house ; a spacious lawn extends in terraces to the 
 street, giving it a location of rare beauty, and around it are 
 clustered the cottages of his workmen, numbering more than 
 one hundred. 
 
 The handsome Gothic church, which attracts the attention 
 of all visitors, the finest church of its size in the Dominion, was 
 built at an expense of $60,000 by Mr. Gibson, and presented to 
 the Methodist conference. He is an extensive dealer in lumber, 
 in fact is the lumber king of New Brunswick. He is a self-made 
 man, having commenced his life a poor boy, and by energy, 
 ability, and integrity made his way to the frout rank of business 
 
37 
 
 men, bankers, and capitalists in the Dominion of Canada, 
 to-day. ' 
 
 Leaving Marysville, for eight miles up the valley of the 
 beautiful Nushwaak it is fine trout fishing; trout weighing from 
 three-quarters to one and one-half pounds are taken. Brooks : 
 ray, McBanes, Hanson's Mill Stream, Cross Creek, and 'other

 tributaries, furnish good trout fishing. Forty-seven miles from 
 Gibson is 
 
 Here we strike the southwest branch of the Miramichi River, so 
 well known for its splendid scenery and salmon fishing. B^our 
 miles from here, on a good wagon road, is the hotel of William 
 Wilson, where a complete outfit of guides, canoes, and provis- 
 
Minim»«nr« ii m W il t l iK J iMi,, --'•-' ^-

 ions can always be obtained. From June 10th to September 15th 
 any one can always get good catches of salmon, and the best of 
 trout fishing here, and for fifty miles up the river. Great 
 improvement has been made the past few years in the 
 protection of salmon in these rivers, at the suggestion of 
 J. Henry Phair, Esq., the efficient inspector of fisheries. Some 
 of the finest scenery in the world is between Gibson and Boies- 
 town, and on the Miramichi. In the season of 1887, Messrs. 
 Hanson and J. S. Neill, on the Southwest Miramichi, took 
 thirty-five salmon, averaging twelve and one-half pounds each. 
 This is the favorite fishing ground of Joe Jefferson, the actor, 
 the Right Rev. Bishop Neely of Maine, the Bishop of Baltimore, 
 Hon. E. M. Stillwell, commissioner of Maine fisheries. Attorney 
 General Bl ir. Secretary McClellan of the Dominion govern- 
 ment, anu others. 
 
 All along the line from Marysville to Boiestown are part- 
 ridge and woodcock in profusion. At Zionsville, eighteen miles 
 from Marysville, leave the train and take a good carriage road 
 back twelve miles, and vou come to as fine caribou, moose, and 
 deer hunting as there is :n Now Brunswick. 
 
 Leaving Boiestown it is seventeen miles to Doaktown. Here, 
 and all along the line at the principal stations, are fine depots, 
 finished tastily and painted in colors. It is an enterprising vil- 
 lage. Back from here a few miles is fine hunting grounds, where 
 the sportsman will always be rewarded with large game. Mysh- 
 rall Lake, where there is fine duck and goose shooting, is but a 
 few miles irom here, on a good road. Twenty-five miles from 
 Doaktown is 
 
 liielillfe, 
 
 Here is the usual modern station and small town with pretty 
 houses, mills, etc. From here it is onl eight miles to the cele- 
 brated hunting grounds of the Dungarvon and Renous Rivers, a 
 country abounding in large game. Five miles from here, on the 
 Indiantown Branch Railway, are the celebrated White Rajnds. 
 At these Rapids, and the first eighteen miles of the l^enous River 
 (and first four of the Dungarvon River), which empties into the 
 Southw, st Miramichi at Indiantown, is magnificent fishing. 
 Trout weighing two pounds are taken in large numbers, and 
 there is fine salmon fishing from May 22d to Sepember 15th.

 The Renous and Dungakvon Fishin<. Club, Fredericton, 
 N. B., have leased for ten years from the government all the 
 Crown Lands on the Renous and Dungarvou Rivers. The 
 Renous empties into the Southwest Miramichi at Indiantown. 
 The Dungarvou enters the Renous seven miles from its mouth. 
 The fishing on the Dungarvou is fine. The best salmon pools 
 are at the lower falls, thirty miles from its mouth, also at the 
 upper falls, sixteen miles farther up. Parties coming here can 
 leave the Northern & Western Railwav at Boiestowrf and take 
 
 /

 portage road fifteen miles to river, or can go to Indiantown and 
 take canoes up the river. Sportsmen can find canoes and guides 
 at reasonable prices at either place. The club have guardians 
 on the river all the time, who protect it from poachers, and it 
 is their intention to have it open to sportsmen the coming sea- 
 son. All particulars can be had by addressing T. G. Loggie, 
 Crown Land Office, Fredericton, N. B. 
 
 Leaving Blackville it is twenty miles to Chatham Junction. 
 Here the Northern & Western Railway crosses the Intercolonial. 
 The Southwest Miramichi River, which we have followed from 
 Boiestown, has all the way scenery wild and picturesque; the 
 banks high. The river is dotted with emerald islands of singu- 
 lar beauty, and for fertile farms and good farm-houses this sec- 
 tion is not surpassed by any in New Brunswick. 
 
 It is ten miles from Chatham Junction to Chatham, the ter- 
 minus of the Northern & Western Railway. 
 
 Ckilktm 
 
 On Miramichi River, is a celebrated port for shipment of lum- 
 ber to Great Britain. The water is very deep, and the largest 
 vessels can load direct from the mills. J. B. Snowball, Esq., 
 President of the Northern & Western Railway, is the leading 
 lumber mercl ant of this section, has the largest mills, and does 
 the most extensive business of any party on the North Shore. 
 Mr. S. has an elegant residence here. There are also many 
 other fine houses in town. Chatham is noted for its salubrious 
 climate, and its facilities for yachting and sea fishing are un- 
 surpassed. Thomas Flanagan keeps a fine hotel here, the Adams 
 House, where tourists will get excellent accommodations. 
 
 Chatham ia beautifully situated on the south bank of the 
 Miramichi River, twenty-four miles from its mouth, and is a 
 well-built, lively, enterprising, wealthy town, and the largest 
 settlement on the North Shore. The fish and lumber trade, and 
 shipbuilding, are the principal sources of the wealth of the town. 
 
 Six miles farther up, and on the opposite side of the river, is 
 the pretty town of Newcastle. Shipbuilding is carried on here 
 very extensively, and also a large trade in lumber and fish. 
 This is one of the principal stations on the Intercolonial. This 
 town, like Chatham, is lighted with gas. The Miramichi is nav-

 The length of the Miramichi is said to be 200 miles, but this 
 18 not a modicum of its length. There are two large branches, 
 the Northwest and the Southwest, and these have almost innum- 
 erable branches, and branches of branches, all of which are the 
 resort of salmon, trout, and other fish. Short portages from 
 the Northwest branch of the Miramichi will carry one into the 
 waters of the Upsalquitch, Nepisiquit, or the Restigouche.

 On the northeast coast of New Brunswick, is the great stopping 
 place of all the migratory wild fowl. It is reached from Fred- 
 ericton by the Northern & Western Railway to Chatham Junc- 
 tion, one hundr^ and seven miles, thence via Intercolonial 
 Railway to Gloucester Junction forty-five miles ; from here by 
 Oaraquet Railway fifty miles to Caraquet, thence by club 
 boats to sporting grounds fifteen miles. For geese, duck, and 
 brant shooting it is unequaled in the Dominion. In August and 
 September plover can betaken in large number; and in Sep- 
 tember, October, November, and in early December thousands 
 of the larger birds await the lovers of fine shooting. Veteran 
 sportsmen claim that Mai Bay is the best place to take geese, 
 etc. These grounds comprise hundreds of acres of marsh, on 
 which the goose-grass grows, upon the roots of which the migra- 
 tory birds feed and rest at low tide ; at high tide they fly to a 
 small inland lake, and as they fly low during this transit the 
 sportsmen shoot all they wish, as there are geese, duck, and 
 brant by the million. It is only one day from Fredericton 
 to the finest shooting in the world. Good guides, with canoes, 
 can be obtained here at the low price of one dollar per day.
