This makes the second new house being erected in Four Pound Speckled Trout Caught at Eugenia A speckle' trout weighing fo>^ pound and ' , ounces caught in the lake at Eugenia! To catch such a fish has been the dream of hundreds of the followers of Isaac Walton, who have spent their leisure hours dang- ling a worm in the quiet waters of tht famous reserve which is in our midst. The dream hag at last been broken, and has become a beau- tiful reality since Jim Dargavel, man- ager of the Durham Furniture Co. a? Rock Mills, brought a finny monster to justice on Friday evening last, off the eigth line bridge It was a lovely fish and one that would make some of these. Nipigon fighters sit up and take notice. As warmer weather comes and the water recedes, the big fish are taking hold, and enthusiasm will soon be at its height. This part of Grey County is one of the best speckled trout fishing grounds in On- tario, large numbers of excellent size being reported. In one lake, about twelve miles from Flesherton, thirteen fish were caught that tipped the scales at twenty pounds, while an-, other catch of thirteen weighed thir- teen pounds even. It has been quite a few years since so many fishermen have been 'seen here, and the num- ber is steadily growing, as the home of the big fish becomes better known. In order to keep the public streams in the county stocked with trout and various other fish, the Grey County Fish and game Association was form- ed several years ago, and has been doing excellent work in that way. It has been impossible for the .Associa- tion to secure all trout fry requested, and those sent were deposited in the streams in the northern part of the county, but this year it is expected that the southern part will be favor- ed with the depositing of the fry. The annual meeting of the .Association will be held in Flesherton on June 23, when a big attendance of game and fish devotees will be present. ( That the Beaver Valley is a logical ^ place for fox raising is pointed out by the Thornbury-Review Herald in ,the ranch of Mr. Albert E. Lougheed I of Ueathcote. He has four pairj of silver black fcxea, which have pro- ^ duced this year twenty pups, and all doing well. The season of the year haa now arrived, when if it was a peniten- tiary' offence to tell a lie about the number of miles one gets from a gallon of gasoline, the major portion of uur mutur-going population would be behind the bars.
