The Sixth Toue (via Bristol and Cork) 



Commands the counties of Cork and Kerry. The River Lee offers 

 no mean salmon angling in spring and during the summer. Grilse 

 are pretty numerous. All particulars respecting this water can be 

 obtained by application to Mr. Hackett, fishing tackle-maker, Cork. 

 A pleasant run by rail brings us to Killarney, where we have 

 the Upper, Middle, and Lower Lakes the Laune, the Flesk, and 

 Lough Guttane. The lakes of Killarney are free, and would afford 

 first-rate spring trolling, were it not for the cross lines of the 

 professionals. 



The Laune occasionally gives a good day in spring, but is better 

 during the summer and autumn. The trout trolling on 



Lough Guttane is often very good. Permission is rarely or never 

 refused to the stranger. Kerry, a sort of angler's paradise, abounds 

 in lakes and rivers. We will proceed to mention some of the 

 principal. A drive of two hours by the mail car conducts the 

 tourist to Lady Headly's Hotel at Rossbeigh. This inn forms excel- 

 lent head-quarters for 



Carra Lake and River, and the Beigh. The angling on the river 

 is sometimes good in spring ; the troUing on the lake in the earlier 

 months bears a high character. The salmon are of good size and 

 the red trout very fine. Part of this water is free, and on the 

 remainder, angling by the day, week, month, or season, can be 

 obtained on very moderate terms. 



The Beigh is a little mountain stream close to the hotel, which, 

 during the autumn spates, holds fine white trout. 



Ihe Black Stones River is an affluent of Carra Lake, and, during 

 the early months of spring, affords better salmon angling than 

 either the lake or Carra Eiver. It is usually, however, let with the 

 shootings. Ten miles to the south-west is the small town of 

 Cahirciveen, where is a stream that looks very promising in wet 

 .veather. I have never fished there, but have heard good accounts 

 of the water. 



The Lmy flows into BallinskelHg's Bay, and in August, September,
