FISH AND GAME 
     
    
   
   
    
     There is no large game or extensive salmon fiyafishing; 
     
     but sportsmen will find good shooting in the shape of wild 
     
     geese, brant, duck, wood—cock, plover, and snipe during the 
     
     season. By an Act of the Legislature, passed in 1898, the 
     
     killing of partridge was prohibited for two years. The Morel], 
     
     Midgell, Dunk, Pierre Jacques, Miminigash, Kildare, Tignish, 
     
     Percival, Enmore, Winter River and other streams afford good 
     
     trout fishing. There is also excellent fishing at North Lake 
     
     and other places in the vicinity of East Point. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Fishing and Game Laws 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Dominion and Provincial Parliaments have passed 
     
     laws to prevent the wanton destruction of fish and game, and 
     
     for the establishment of close seasons. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Dominion Trout-Fishing regulations are as follows :— 
     
    
   
   
    
     “In the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and 
     
     Prince Edward Island, no one shall fish for, catch, kill, buy, 
     
     sell or possess any speckled trout, salmon trout, gray trout, 
     
     white trout, lake trout, winanish, toag, land-locked salmon, or 
     
     any other kind of trout from the Ist day of October to the 
     
     3lst day of March in each year, both days inclusive.” 
     
    
   
   
    
     There are no other Government restrictions, but on some 
     
     streams parties hold fishing leases. Further information can be 
     
     obtained from the resident Fishery Officers.
