stumped him.

“Look here,” he said ﬁnally, “that's unfair. I'm a Cana- dian .To me there isn't anything wrong with Canada. But we Canadians believe in letting a fellow see for himself. G0 out and look the country" over-and if you find anything

you don't like, write about it.

We're no persons up here to

conceal anything. Rather, we'd like to tind it out, then we

can remedy it.”

So. with that goal. I set forth. I've been setting forth ever since, to the extent of thousands upon thousands of miles. l’ve traipsed from Halifax to Vancouver, and up to Hudson Bay. I've fooled around in the Arctic, where there's a white man to be found about every thousand square miles. and I've spent my time in the centers of population.

And all this time, like a hound dog on the trail, I've looked for some- thing to kick dbOllL. At last I've found it.

It's the ﬁshing,

I admit that. with a sense oi shame. I've always had a great ad- miration for Canada. But when it comes to ﬁshing, I'm afraid that it has laid down in the traces. Wit- tingly or unwittingly, it has violat- ed every rule of ﬁshing country. I can prove that.

A ﬁsherman, if he has been properly trained by the disappoint- ments which go along with the dis- ease, comes to expect certain things to look forward to precise events and plan for them. Now, for tn- stance, in the usual ﬁshing country, after a fellow hits bought all the tackle there is, sat up nights pol- ishing the various rods which com- prise his outﬁt, bought-a new ﬁsh- ing basket and purchased every- thing there is in the last Bait; Com- pany catalogue that's been sent him after he's done all that, he expects certain things. The event-s oi years have proved that these things are inevitable.

First oi all, he'll 2o to a place that is advertised as 1-1 Fisherman's Paradise.

He'll 8% of! the train, and ask how the fishing is. And hell get this answer :

“Well, it's been fine right up to the last few days. Th'ey was a couple oi fellows here from Spring. ﬁeld l week or so ago, and they ¢1111811t a. boatload."

"Ii-out?" the ﬁsherman will ask 5388113’. And the other man will reply:

"Well, no, not trout. I think some oi‘ the boys called ‘em bull- heads. But they sure caught a 101; 0

fish. I don't think the trout are bitin‘ this year."

He knows danged well the trout aren't biting thts year, or last year, or the yen; before that. In fact, the only inhabitant who ever WltS known to see a trout, and that in his early boyhood, died three years ago and “'85 buried with the wild acclaim of the populace at the ten- der age oi 10G.

The ﬁsherman. in his heal‘? oi hearts has known all that before he started. It's a part of being a ﬁsherman. He goes on the assump- tion that perhaps, between the time he leaves home and the hour he reaches the ﬁshing Joint, the skies will open and rain trout, thus en- abling him to be the only person in history to catch anyzhing at this dump besides eels, mosquito bites, turtles and bullheads. happens in Canada?

You go to a place that has been advertised as a Fishermfinls Para- dise. You. having done all the pre. paralory things of buying tackle and stipplies, proceed in zct off the train. And yo llﬂiiii the guide:

“Hows fishing?"

“Oh, it's ﬁne." he rays. "There wet-on couple of fellows here from Mozurral last week and they catighi: a boatload,"

"Boatload oi what?"

“Troutf says he.

"Little ones?" you ask.

"Oh. fair. Three, four pounds."

By this time. if has become a matter of honor. Any ﬁsherman knovxs that this is not ilic right way for a truitic to greet a item of the rori. The ﬁrst thing lo learn in ﬁshing is to nlfui. That goes whe- ther a man i.~. Hr: or running a

What are you going b0 do with a country like that? It spoils hali the fun.
