Summary: | trouter n The Trouters' Special was a train of several cars which left St. John's on the eve of the 24th of May with trouters for the various ponds of their choice, dropping them off wherever they wished along the railway line, and picking them up the following night to bring them back, with their catches, hang-overs, fly-bites, chills, etc. Each fisherman left St. John's with sufficient alcoholic beverages to ward off the cold, and with high hopes of catching "the breeder" - the biggest trout in the particular stretch of water he fancied.
