It is a very rare thing- to take a brook trout in tlie Aclirondacks as lieavy as five pounds^ three pounds being considered a large trout there; it is quite common in Maine to take them weighing seven and eiglit pounds each, sometimes even nine x^ounds, and one of ten pounds was taken by Mr. Page about two years since, and can now be seen stuffed, in a glass case, at his office, '1^0. 139 Maiden Lane, ]S"ew York.

Mr. Murray, on i)age 137, gives the length of the largest trout he caught at 17f inches. The Maine trout, weighing from seven to nine pounds, will measure from 25 to 28 inches in length; and Mr. Page's ten x3ounder is just 30 inches long.

Lake trout are i^lenty in the Adirondacks, and some as heavy as 15 to 20 pounds are taken, but comx)ared to the red speckled fellows they are common and unattractive to the eye. Every time you take a trout on the Maine fishing grounds visited by our party, he is sure to be a red speckled beauty. Many fish are caught in certain loortions of Maine and other adjacent states, weighing from 10 to 20 pounds, and by some called speckled trout; si)eckled they are no doubt, but Brook Trout they surely are not.

As to boats, those of the Saranac and Long
