the village of Bundoran. In the spring some salmon may be taken 

 in it, and during the autumn freshes this stream affords capital 

 spori;. The tourist has now reached the end of his district ; should 

 he return to Derry, 



The Swilly may be worth his notice for a few days ; whilst by 

 following 



The Finn, he may once more find himself at Derry with a full 

 pannier. 



The Third Toue {via Stranraer and Lame). 



The lines from "the Lakes" via Morecombe and Fleetwood, will 

 bring tourists from Cumberland, Yorkshire, and Lancashire to Belfast, 

 which commands the district we are about to visit equally well 

 with Lame. The section marked out for our third tour contains 

 the counties of Antrim, Derry, Down, Tyrone and Armagh. La the 

 centre of these lies 



Lough Neagh, the most extensive sheet of water in the island, into 

 which the greater part of the rivers of the foregoing counties 

 debouch. During the autumn 



The Maine River affords very superior trout fishing, as at that 

 season the great lakers are running up ; the same thing may be said 

 in a less degree of many of the affluents of this inland sea. Toome 

 Bridge is probably the best station for Lough Neagh, whilst 

 Eandalstown forms comfortable quarters for the Maine River . The 

 fish of this district are probably the heaviest in Lreland. 



The Bann, the only outlet of Lough Neagh, is a noble river ; the 

 part best suited for salmon-angling is situated two or three miles 

 above Coleraine, and is rented by a club of a dozen members, each of 

 whom has the privilege of taking out a friend. Membership is 

 a thing to be desired, as the sport is good and the terms very 

 moderate. 



The Bush flows into the sea close to the Giants' Causeway. This 

 river, however, has little interest for the tourist-angler, being always 

 in private hands ; it is at present leased to two rods. 



Between Fairhead and Lame are two or three small rivers, the
