ELLESMERE FISHERIES.
; To the Editor. 818,-—I would like to call attention through your columns to a propoaed amendment to the fishing regulations here. Some gentleman wlios« knowledge of fishing raußt be very small, wants to increase the limit of the measure of flouftdet"Bif rom 9 inches to 11 inches. As any body who knows anything of thßyLakie; can jtell yonj this is equivalent to putting an end to flounder fishing m Ellesmere. . For one .fish oyer eleven inches caught, we get a hundrfed between nine and eleven inches. All tlie big fish have left the Lake, and the""''BJmall pneiTare left., If we cannot catch these^ what are we'ru catch? ■ I have now been fishing the Lako f.ir sixteeo yearß,' nnd may Be puppo^ed to know more aboqtjit than gentlemen of this type, who would seek to deprive us of a livelihood. A petition against the amendment is m course of vpreparation.: and^ will .be .forwarded to Wellfngt(i'n4it|' a* dav^or :tvjjp.\ lamJSirryouVs^etb^ ■" * * *-? * '# " / I Antonio Migaldo. Lake Ellesmere Au^UHt 3d.
