in this manner are aware of the early history of tee fishing and fewer still realize this spor has evolved in iess than 150 years from a task which the indians found necessary to sur vival says lands and forests biologist h r mccrimmoji huron indians who jived on the shores of lake simcoe cen turies before the arrival of the french explorers and jesuit missionaries depended upon an abundance pi fish to supplement their harvest of grain when game was scarce mr mccrim- mon writes in the current issue of sylva fish became so im portant to the hurons that many tribal rituals were prac tised in the hope they would ensure a bountiful catch one important member of each fish ing party was the fish preacher i on whom success or failure de pended champlain or other french travellers showed considerable interest in a fish weir made of stakes with small openings in which nets were set and which the indians operated in the atheriv narrows near cahia- jgue now orillia mr mccrim- jmon says on account of this i netting device the french call- led the lake lac aux claies j lake of the stakes later it i was corrupted to le clie which i remained the name for many years however the huron indians had been vanquished by the hostile iroquois nearly 20 years before the settlers of the 19th i century reached lake simcoe land it was from the ojibways that the white men learned the art of fishing through the ice the first authentic detailed study of indian winter fishing j was made bv george bond on march 6 1815 while skat ing on the ice of lake simcoe bond saw what appeared to be a mound of ice but as he ap proached to within a few hun dred yards of it he spotted a slight movement of a light- brown object which now resem bled an animal unable to decide what it could be bond was almost con vinced he should go home for a gun when the head and shoul ders of an indian suddenlv ap peared from under the large buffalo skin which had hidden him entirely the indian sat and held a short spear ready to plunge it into any fish that might come within striking j range the hole about a foot square was baited with an artificial fish of white wood with lead- j en eyes and tin fins about s or 9 inches long by moving a string to which the bait was at- tached the artificial fish or de- j it eliminated bothersome sun light ah h hampered observa tion of the fish in the water below fishermen soon recognised the advantage of a fitting shel ter wooden fishing huts each with a single bench and a small stove fashioned from an old oil can were popular by 1900 they have beer built since that time with only minor modifications the techniques which the white men employed to spear lake trout through the tee of lake simcoe differed little from that originally used by the in dians the only equipment being a longhandled spear and a small wooden decoy winter spearing was abolished on lake simcoe in 1951 from that time hooks have been attached to i the indians wooden fish the device being known as a hook- ed decoy it is used to capture fish in the same way that plugs are used for trolling from boats during the summer experien ced resident fishermen using hooked decoys take large num- i bers of lake trout daily during the winter the indians found too that their success in spearing white- l fish through the ice was in creased by pre baiting the grounds with minnows grain groundling fish and other food j which caused the whitefish to congregate below the fishing j holes for a time near the end of i the last century netting and spearing of fish was prohibited the fishermen believed that the j ban would stop all fishing j someone however discovered that baited hooks left lying on or near the lake bottom were taken quite readily by white- fish by 1901 the local fisheries i overseers reported that winter angling for whitefish had be- come a popular sport from that time tvhitefish fishing has continued to increase in popu larity and now constitutes the most extensive winter sport on the lake tremendous changes in the lake simcoe fishery have ac companied the settlement and development of the surround- j ing lands the trend has been ja gradual suppression of the oncethriving commercial fish ery in favour of one reserved i for tlie multitude of angling j sportsmen in spite of certain innova tions the recreational fishery still embodies basically the winter habits learned from the ojibway indians coy could be made to imitate closely the actions of a live minnow and thus attract lake trout near to the spearer indian style winter fishing appealed to the white men the settlers who rimmed the lake during the 19th century copied very closely the fishing habits of the indians who were con- cerned mainly with the spear- ing of lake trout and whitefish while some fishermen braved j the wind and cold with nothj ing more than warm clothing and great personal fortitude as they squatted with spears poised over the holes in the ice j ethers gained protection by dra- ping animal robes over them- selves just as did the early in- j dians but the tentlike arrange- ment had another advantage j are you feeding steers purina has the right supplement
