. Sport, travel and adventure in Newfoundland and the West Indies [microform]. Fisheries; Hunting; Pêche commerciale; Chasse.

This river had not been netted, and was full of fish, and I have no doubt first-rate sport might liave been had there, l)ut our short stay pre- vented any further enjoyment of it. One of the objections to fishing in Newfound- land is the difficulty of getting to the best places, as the coastal steamers do not necessarily call at them. A small coaster might be easily hired by a party of sportsmen, and probably good sport enjoyed; but everything in the shape of provisions, &c., including a tent, must be taken, as no sort of accommodation can be found on iiiiy part of the coast. The mosquitoes and black flies are a very great nuisance during the summer months ; but the same applies to all the rivers in Canada, Nova Scotia, Norway, &c., and although undoubted- t ly a great drawback, they are not sufficient to deter a keen angler from enjoying his favourite pastime.
