58 THE ANGLING CLUBS AND PRESERVATION 



Liverpool Angling Association. — Head-quarters, 

 "Strawberry Hotel," West Derby Road, Liverpool. 



Some four years ago a number of anglers who were in 

 the habit of meeting at the above hotel conceived the idea 

 of forming an angling association, and after some difficulty 

 succeeded in their endeavour. The number of members at 

 first was thirteen, but this has now increased to lOO, with 

 about twelve hon. members. They had great difficulty 

 in obtaining or renting fishing waters, but have now secured 

 the right of fishing in the reservoir of the Ruabon Water 

 Company, which is well stocked with trout averaging 

 half a pound each. About 2000 Lough Neagh trout have 

 been placed in the brook leading into the reservoir as a 

 trial, with the intention of placing some 10,000 more there 

 if this attempt is successful. They have also got permis-

 lakes. The President is James Wilkinson, Esq., while the 

 Hon, Sec. is Mr. R. Woolfall, of 27 Troughton Road. 



Lower Monnow Fishing Club. 



This Club is limited to twenty-five members, paying an 

 annual subscription of £<, each, and has the fishing for

 however, frequently caught. There are vacancies for more 

 members. The Hon. Secretary is R. Wrightson, Esq., 

 Newport, Monmouth.
