KOFOID THE ANGLER'S GUIDE BOOK AND Tourists' Gazetteer OF THE FISHING WATERS OF THE United States and Canada. 1885. COMPILED AND EDITED BY WILLIAM C. HARRIS, Editor of the "American Angler." "THE AMERICAN ANGLER," NEW YORK, Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1884, by WILLIAM C. HAKRIS, in the ofl&oe of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. ^3 DEDICATED To the ANGLEBS OF AMEKICA. INTBODUCTOKY. In collating the material for this Guide Book, 17,827 special communications, and 2500 pages of The American Angler and other accredited authorities, have been received, examined and in journalistic parlance, "boiled down." The result is before the reader in the form of 2,105 centre points from whence over 7,000 angling waters are more or less accessible; of these the following data are given: 8th— Accommodations and charges at hotels, also those of private boarding houses. 9th — The favorite grounds, when known, of local anglers. 10th— Cost of guides, boats and bait. 11th — Where salt water exists, the best tide to fish in. 12th— Cost of permits when required. 1st.— How they are reached. 2ud— Distance from nearest point by railroad, or other public transportation routes. 3rd— The species of fish therein. 4th— The fishes that are most abund- ant. 5th— The best months for fishing. 6th— Local baits used. 7th— Methods of local anglers. In addition to the above I have given the quality of the fishing when authenti- cated by my own experience or that of a responsible correspondent. In this connection anglers should bear in mind that fish are erratic in their humors; that in the same water fishing may be good to-day and bad to-morrow; that wind, weather, water and the feeding hours of fish are all essential factors in an angler's success or failure. In waters of which I have no authentic information the reader will find recorded, without comment, the names thereof, distance from station, charges, species of fish caught, etc. The plan of cominlation which has been adopted, I believe to be the best form for making the Guide Book concise and of ready reference. It was a subject of much thought and several methods were experimented upon, particularly that of classification by waters, but the immense mass of material to be utilized and the geographical range and area of the rivers and lakes, indicated that if this latter form was used, the book would grow to the size of a ponderous encyclopediae rather than the pocket volume in which it now appears. I have endeavored to make plain to the angling reader, resident in any section, the perplexity cxi>erienced in the identification of a fish under its local name, vary- ing in different localities. In a few instances I have been unable to do this and have called for information from anglers familiar with the fishes and the waters where peculiar names for the former are in use. This confusion exists more gen- erally in the Soiithem States, particulai-ly for the local names of the salt water fish on the Atlantic coast belt from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay to the southern limit of the State of Georgia; also, for the fresh water fishes in the states of Vir- ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee. I urge upon my brother anglers to assist me in simplifying the popular nomenclature of the fishes of the country. For errors of omission I can only claim indulgence based on the scope, newness and magnitude of the compilation. Doubtless many fruitful angling waters are not named, owing to my ignorance of their existence, and to the impossibility of covering the entire continent in the first issue of a work of this character, yet of this I am assured, that nearly four thousand excellent fishing "grounds " are here- in located, concerning which I have been entirely ignorant, despite an angling experience of over a quarter of a centitry. To those of our selfish brethren of the angle, if such there be, who are inclined to grow surlily critical over the "giving away" of their favorite waters, I beg to quote what old Walton's Piscator said to Venator over two hundred years ago: "Go your way presently; take my rod and do as I bid you, and I will sit down and mend my tackling till you return back."

The alphabetical headings of the text indicate the stations of transportation com- panies, for instance: On page 48 will be found Lennox (C. M. & St. P.), and by refer- ring to the "Index of Transportation Companies " on pp. 244-249. the initial letters "C. M. & St. P," will be found to designate the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail- way, and that Mr. A. V. H. Carpenter, Milwaukee, Wis., is the General Passenger Agent of said railway, to whom all letters of inquiry as to trains, cost of transporta- tion etc., via his road, should be addressed. Over two hundred transportation companies are designated in this manner. If the angler desires to visit, or acquire a knowledge of any particular water, and does not find it among the headings in the text iinder the state captions, by refer- ring to the "Index to Fishing Waters" on pages 209 to 243, he will see the page in- dicated upon which the name, locality and fishing facilities of the water occur. Owing to the large number of correspondents (nearly 18,000) upon whom the editor and compiler has been compelled to rely for much of the information con- tained in the guide book, there, doubtless, occur many errors in the orthography of the waters named herein. These, it has been found impracticable to entirely cor- rect in the first edition, owing to the fact that over 2,000 of the waters named have no place in the Gazetteers or on accredited maps. Such errors are aptly illustrated by "Ephnores lake " or "Effnor lake"; the first is found on page 136 as adjacent to "Jessups Landing" station on the Adirondack railroad, and the second (Effnor) at Hadley station, page 138, on the same road. These two stations are but five miles apart and Ephnores 1. and Effnor 1. are doubtless one and the same water. When such inconsistencies occur, the angling reader will not be confused, as however va- ried the spelling may be, the pronunciation is not affected. Again; in numerous instances the terms lake, pond, stream, creek, run and brook will be found interchangeable, but to prevent confusion we have given, at the risk of repetition, the local nomenclature of the waters. To avoid frequent use of the same terms we have employed the following : Abbreviations— B. b., black bass; br., brook; cr. creek; 1., lake; 1. m., large mouth; m., mile; p., pond; p. d., per day; p. w., per week; r., river; s. m., small mouth; str., stream; w., week. SUMMARY OP THE FISH LAWS. [The provisions of the fish laws of the different States, Territories, and of the Dominion of Canada prohibit, under heavy penalties, the killing of salmon, trout, black bass, and other recognized game fish by any other method than by hook and line. In states where exceptions to this general law obtains, a note is made of the fact under the proper caption. The open seasons as given in the annexed sched- ule refer exclusively to hook and line fishing, which in the State of New York is defined as "a line held in the hand," and as "laj'-out" or "set lines" are prohibited by statute in many of the states, a strict construction of the definition of hook and line fishing is indicated by the New York law.] Alabama.— The fish laws of this state apply only to the Tennessee river in which it is unlawful to use nets or poison. Arkansas. — No protecting fish laws have been enacted in this state. British Columbia, Province of— See Ontario and Quebec, the game and fish laws of which were expended to British ('olumbia by order of the Governor in Council on Sept. 15, 1879.

There is no close season for mascalonge, pike and pickerel. The waters protected by special enactments are numerous and as there has never been an official list of them collated, itis difficult to cull from the general laws an authentic schedule of them.

New York City. The local fishing grounds are many in number and fruitful of fish. Boats can be had at all of them and usually baits, the latter however had better be provided before starting out. The charge for boats ranges from 5oc to $1 p. d.and sufiicient bait for a days fishing can be had for 50c, excluding however, shed der crabs which vaiy in price with the supply. Baits of all kinds can generally \w obtained in Washington, Fulton or Catherine St. markets. Shrimp, shedder crabs blood worms, sami wor;»8 and clams are the usual baits. Mummychxigs or "kil- lies," a hardy salt water minuow, are ueecl at times, and very successfully in "snap UNITED STATES AND CANADA. 143 per" (young bluefish) fishing; ppearing are also imxch used. The fish caught in the salt or brackish water are as follows: bluefish, weakflsh, kingfish, sheepshead, flounders, blackflsh, sea bass, striped bass, spots or Lafayettes, tomcods, flukes, bergalls or cunners, porgies etc. ; the first named are caught by trolling with the squid off shore, or chumming with menhaden bait. Large boats, including the captain, are hired for this j)urpose at about $10 p. d.; they can be secured (several days notice should be given), at Jamaica Bay, Carnarsie, Eockaway, Fort Hamiltou, Broad Channel and at Gravesend Bay. The other fish named are caught in nearlj? all the bays and estuaries of Long Island and New Jersey, and in the lower bay and up the Hudson and East rivers, and in Long Island Sound. The tome ods and flounders are most numerous in the early spring and fall, and the weakfieh during the summer months. The sheepshead are not abundant, but very large ones are caught at times on the mussel beds on the old wrecks in the bays. We name some of the salt water grounds and how to reach them: off Bedloe's Island and Robin's Reef in the bay, by boat from Whitehall; weakfish and blackflsh mostly; Weehaw- ken docks (Weehawken), Hudson r., tomcods and small striped bass; Fort Lee docks at Fort Lee, occasionally weakfish etc., but mostly eels and catfish; Pelham Bridge at Harlem, blackflsh of good size, flounders in spring and fall months; from 100 to 125th St. on the Hudson r., striped bass (occasionally a large one, but they usually run from }i to 1 lb . ), tomcods, flounders, with now and then a stiag- gling weakfish; along the piers good fishing is had at times, both in Hhe Hudson and East rivers, for strii;ed bass and tomcods; Wall St. Ferry and 55th St. Docks in Brooklyn and Pier 1 in the East r. on the N. Y. side are most frequented. For the fishing in Harlem r. see Foedham, High Bkidge, Kings Bridge and Mokkis Dock.

The best way to hunt salmon is in the spring of the year when they go up on the hills to browse on fir bads, to take a good breech loading shot gun and shoot them, on the wing. I do not know much about catching chubs, but the best way to bait for suckers is to use a bottle of chain lightning. It will get them every time. Our local anglers have gone to Washington, D. C. The tallest ones are trying to get into Cleveland's cabinet, and the common sized ones will get into anything they can. Their favorite grounds are around the Treasury building, as long as it la^ts.

Such is the substance of the report sent us, but from the number of anglers residing in Parryville, we looked for better waters adjacent to that town. Pine Run and Wild cr., however, which contain trout are from 5 to 7 m. distant, and we presume are visited by the local anglers. Peiin Haven Junction (Leh. V.

Philadelphia (Via 14 r. r.)— The Delaware River above and below the city gives fair white perch fishing; the fish are small. Down the r. as far as Salem these fish are caught weighing a lb and upward.

For fresh water sport, the Schuylkill, Delaware and Brandywine aftord fair b. b. fishing, within 30 m. of the city; the two first named waters a few years ago yielded excellent creels of b. b. with a fly; we hear, however, that the fishing is falling off and that local anglers are going further away from home. Sev- eral trout streams lie within 25 m., but they are fished out early in the season. Would advise visiting anglers to consult with the fishing tackle dealers as to fishing grounds.

Ashepoo (Chas. & S.)— Ashepoo r. near station; trout, (b. b.), perch, bream, rock (?) etc.; bream mostabiindant: worm bait; summer months best. Wethinkthe "rock" so called above, is the striped bass, but it is very diflicult to identify a fish by the local name prevailing in the Southern States. Last of ebb and first of flood tide best. Beldoc (P. R. & A.) — Beldoc p. and cr. near station; bream, trout (b. d.), jack (pike) etc.; bream most numerous; worm bait; April, May and June best; boats and bait can be had.

The "rockfish," so called here, is the striped bass of the north, and doubtless the same rule holds good in all Southern States. In Mary- land and Virginia this nomenclature has prevailed from time immemorable. Early Branch (P. R. & A,)— Salkehatchie r. 3 m.; Coosawhatchie r. 4 m.; first UNITED STATES AND CANADA. 179 best; rockfish (striped bass), trout (b. b.), perch, catfish, jack (pike), etc.; perch and catfish most abundant; live bait and earth worms \;sed; May to July best; boarding house $1.25 p. d.; guide $1 p. d.; guides furnish boat and bait.

The "jack-salmon" is either the pike-perch or the pike. Con- fusion worse confounded attends the attempt to understand the local names of fish in certain sections of Tennessee; however, if our efforts are successful the edition of the Guide Book foi 1886 will make plain the present tangle in the local nomenclature of fish, not only in Tennessee but in many other sections of the country. Centreville (N. C. & St. L. See page X)— Duckr. at station; Swan cr. 4 m.; Pine r. 8 m..

The best fishing is about 10 m. distant at the junc- tion of the two above named cr's and the Obion r. at what is known as Wilder's lower mill; at Bennett's mill, 4 m. on Crooked or., it is also good, in fact very fine at both points.

In this section the name of "jack" appears to be indiscriminately applied to the pike and pike- perch.
