SALMON ANGLING IN IRELAND. 21 



Maine debouches into the head of Dingle Bay, and offers excellent 

 grilse fishing ; it is tolerahb/ independent of freshes a great matter 

 to an angler who has only a limited time. But few strangers find 

 their way to Castlomaine, the stream of tourists flowing on to Caira, 

 Waterville, and Glengariff. The Lee is a small river, rising a few

 creel, occasionally sei-ved the sportsman for bed and board. But 

 these days are passing away, and fair quarters are now to be found, 

 where some years since no accommodation could be procured. Yet
