Description

"Fishing at French river: French River is in reality a chain of small lakes connecting Lake Nipissing on the east with Georgian Bay. In these vast fishing wilds, bass, maskinonge ("lunge"), pike and pickerel offer great sport for the fisherman, while for the hunter there is the best of deer shooting to be had, some bear, and an abundance of small fur-bearing animals and game birds."

Excerpt from "ACROSS CANADA BY C. P. R.", Section 3--The Province of Ontario; booklet, McGill University Illustrated Lectures, 1928.
