Staarl Lake To Be Mecca of Sportsmen
A fish and game club has been organised by prominent business men of Edmonton, which will be. located on Stuart Lake, 38 iniles north of Vanderhoof. An excellent site for a permanent camp has jfeen secured close to Fort St. James, at the south end of the-'lake, which gives access to a beautiful beach of'pure white sand four miles in extent, providing an excellent spot for bathing.
Stuart Lake and other lakes which can be reached from Stuart Lake by boat or canoe, abound in trout, of many varieties, notably the sporting RainbQw, making it a veritable ftsh-erman's paradise. • The territory also abounds in game of many kinds.
It is the intention of the.club to **reet several log bungalows to "pro-vide accommodation for its members.
In addition to the holiday for the members of the flub there is a commercial feature to the project, that is, of sturgeon fishing. Mr. Grier Starratt, who has obtained a license "from tfie government toTfish iii"these" waters, hus the necessary paraphernalia and equipment for sturgeon-fishing but requires some money for working capital. The club, by providing this capital for him, will secure a; half-interest in his fishing business.        ¦
' As the Stuart Lake district is the iast virgin territory that has not been exploited for sturgeon commercially, and as sturgeon and the caviar which the fish contain are greatly sought after and bring good prices, it is expected that the club* revenue derived from this source will take care of each member's holiday to the lake.
