south-west extremity of the line which marks the boundary of our 

 first tour. Passing inland, we come to 



Lough CoiTib and Lough Mask. The former affords excellent 

 salmon and trout fishing ; the trolling is very good, the best station 

 is Oughterade. 



The Second Tour (vi& Glasgow and Londonderry). 



This north-north-west division is bounded by the Atlantic, and 

 by a line stretching from Lough Foyle, to the village of Bundoran. 

 A short drive of eight or ten miles brings the tourist to the shores 

 of Lough S willy, crossing which he arrives at Eathmelton. 



Lough Fern (the property of Sir James Stuart), is one of the 

 earliest lakes in the kingdom, which the generous owner places at 

 the disposal of the angler; leave can be obtained through the 

 landlord of the hotel. Two or three spring fish and a basket of 

 trout may safely be calculated upon in any good day during March, 

 April, or May. 



The Doe Castle Fishery lies a few miles north of Eathmelton. 

 The river and lake hold very early salmon ; the proprietor leases the 

 angling. Terms can be ascertained on application. The grilse and 

 white trout fishing during the summer and autumn are admirable ; 

 eight or ten miles to the westward, bring the tourist to Dunfanaghy. 

 A short distance beyond the village stands the union workhouse, near 

 which is a lake affording excellent brown trout, ranging from one to 

 six pounds. There is also another lake not far distant on the 

 road to Doe Castle, said to abound with char. Ten miles to the 

 south-west is 



Gweedore. This fishery, so far as the angler is concerned, 

 consists of a chain of lakes, together with the Crotty and Gweedore 

 rivers. The accommodation at the hotel is all that can be desired. 

 About a moiety of the angling is free to anyone staying in the 

 house, the remainder is let by tickets. Terms can be seen by 

 reference to the chapter on Gweedore. The botanist, the angler, 

 and the artist will be equally delighted by a visit to this district. 

 A drive of two hours enables the traveller to reach
