80 NOTES POR THE 



immediately connected with the Dee, quantum 

 v a leant. 



On the very banks of the river itself are several 

 very good "locations/' some of which possess the 

 advantage of having brooks and lakes in the 

 neighbourhood, as well as the fishing in the 

 Dee itself. 



Fly-fishing is not much pursued below Overton 

 Bridge. The sport there is very good in the 

 right season, that is the latter end of July and 

 August, when the Salmon and Sewin have come 

 up, which they do after a flood about that time. 

 The Trout-fishing is but poor here, the river 

 being too full of Dace and Chevin, which, how- 

 ever, afford good sport to young fly-fishers, who 

 are content not to Jit/ at higher game. There is 

 a comfortable little roadside inn close to the 

 bridge, very picturesquely situated, and chiefly 

 frequented by anglers. 



The streams and pools above Wynnstay are 

 very good; but too much whipped by miners, 

 who come down continually with their coracles, 

 by the assistance of which not a hole nor an eddy 

 escapes them. This part of the river is, there- 

 fore, seldom visited by amateurs, who generally 

 make the "Hand Hotel," at Llangollen, their 

 first resting-place, and where they do well to 

 remain awhile.
