     Bell’s, Winter River, Sturgeon, Murray, and Fortune, near 
     
     Souris; aiso at North Lake, East Lake and other salt-water 
     
     ponds ar.d lagoons along the north shore. The Fortune 
     
     trout are far-famed and are taken by fly early in June. 
     
     Good trout may be killed at Trout Point at the entrance to 
     
     Charlottetown Harbour, in the East and North Rivers 
     
     contiguous to the City, and very often off the wharves and 
     
     Park of the City. The rivers are not large or deep enough 
     
     for salmon fishing with the fly; but salmon are netted in the 
     
     spring at St. Peter’s Harbor and other north-shore places. 
     
     They enter the rivers in September and October to spawn, 
     
     and very rarely have been caught in the Dunk and the 
     
     Morell by fly. Good deep-sea fishing—mackerel, haddock 
     
     and halibut, etc.,—can be had during June, July and 
     
     August, about three miles from the coast. 
     
    

    
     In September is first heard the book of the wild 
     
     goose, and it stays until the ice arrives, returning 
     
     again in the spring, which is the best time for shooting. The 
     
     best shooting is at Egmont Bay, Malpeque, Cascumpec, St. 
     
     Peter’s, Savage Harbour and Rustico. Brant shooting is 
     
     concurrent with that of the goose, and there is plenty of it 
     
     in spring and fall, although May is the best time. The 
     
     black duck season opens August 25th and its strident quack 
     
     may be heard in any of the ponds and salt-water lakes that 
     
     fringe the northern shore. Of sea-duck there are many 
     
     varieties—large, black and white, loon, teal, and cock-a—wie, 
     
     but they are often fishy. Migratory sea-fowl are plentiful. 
     
     Partridges—ruffled grouse—are diminishing although the 
     
     close season of a few years ago proved beneficial. They 
     
     can be shot along the railway line. Snipe, wood—cock and 
     
     different species of plover, can also be had. Rabbits, or 
     
     rather hares, which turn white in winter, furnish excellent 
     
     sport. 
     
    

    
     On some streams parties hold fishing leases, but 
     
     permission to fish can readily be obtained. There are no 
     
     restrictions other than the Government regulations and the
