This series consists of Gregory Clark's fishing diaries, lists of his library of outdoors and angling books, casual record book from the cottage at Go Home Bay on Georgian Bay, and other material related to the cottage or outdoors life. The fishing diaries record his experiences fishing and hunting in a variety of locations from 1929 to 1953, the years for which he did not keep a personal diary. They also contain extensive entries referring to bird sightings at feeders and in the field, collecting books on angling and wildlife, and collecting and caring for hunting rifles. There are also lengthy digressions on Clark and Murray family history, the formation of the Toronto Anglers' Association in 1925 (in the diary for 1941), and other subjects of interest to Clark. The casual record book for Go Home Bay is a kind of continuation of the fishing diaries for the years 1955 to 1963. The diary of Wilfred France for 1907 is an unusual item in this series. More of an agenda than diary, he was a caretaker of cottages in the Georgian Bay-Penetanguishene area including Go Home Bay, and it records France's work making deliveries by boat, painting cottages, and doing odd jobs for cottagers over the four seasons.
