 for which purpose several boats are kept at both 

 these places. Between here and Twickenham is 

 some good Winter and Spring fishing, from the banks, 

 particularly in Teddington meadows, where the 

 Fisherman, by noticing where his brother-anglers

 the Summer months, these holes are generally choked 

 with weeds : then, punt-fishing is the most successful 

 way.
