 FISHING FOR HUCHO. 



Scene — The Fall of the Traun^ Upper Austria, 

 Time — July. 



PoiET. — This is a glorious scene ! And the 

 fall of this great and clear river, with its ac- 

 companiments of wood, rock, and snow-clad 

 mountain, would alone furnish matter for dis- 

 cussion and conversation for many days. 

 This place is quite the paradise of a poetical 

 angler; the only danger is that of satiety 

 with regard to sport ; for these great grayling 

 and trout are so little used to the artificial 

 fly, that they take almost any thing moving 

 on the top of tlie water. You see I have 

 put on a salmon fly, and still they rise at it, 

 though they never can have seen any thing- 

 like it before — and it is, in fact, not like any 

 thing in nature.
