296 A YEAR OF LIBEETY. 



Dunglow, near which is a small stream, draining a chain of 

 lakes. During the autumn spates fair white trout fishing may 

 here be met with, and some of the lakes are said I believe with 

 truth to hold large trout. Accommodation by no means luxurious. 

 Ten miles to the south-south-west runs 



The Gweeharra River, which is occasionally leased to the rod. If 

 not let, permission may be obtained. Within an easy walk of 

 Gweebarra-bridge are many good lakes ; the district is rather inac- 

 cessible, but the grilse fishing in the river is excellent shoidd the 

 season be wet. A few miles to the south-west is the village of 

 Glenties, close to which flows 



The Oanea River. ^Here white trout are plentiful in the autumn ; 

 some salmon may also be taken. Accommodation can be obtained 

 at the village Inn. Due south lies Killybegs, and near it the 

 hamlet of Dunkeneely, where is a stream worth trying should the 

 weather be wet. A little beyond. 



The Inver River crosses the high road to Donegal. This water is 

 the property of Mr. Sinclair, to whose kindness many a stranger is 

 indebted for a day or two's admirable angling. The Inver is a late 

 river. Three miles farther on is the town of Donegal, through 

 which flows 



The Esk. ^Lough Esk is its head water. This lake holds plenty 

 of white and brown trout ; the fishing is good in August, September, 

 and October ; permission can generally be obtained on application. 

 Ten miles to the south lies the town of Ballyshannon. 



The Erne ajffords the finest summer angling in Ireland. The 

 fishing is usually let to about eight rods ; for particulars, application 

 should be made to the lessee. Four miles above Ballyshannon is 

 Beleek, which is a good station for Lough Erne, on whose wide 

 waters excellent sport may be had with red trout and pike. 



Lough Melvin (good in spring ; better in summer) is three 

 miles distant. Scott's hotel at Garrison is the best station from 

 which to fish this lake, which contains salmon, grilse, gillaroo, and 

 the salmo-ferox. The last attains a large size here. 



The Drowse drains Lough Melvin, and falls into the sea at
