LAKE BERWYN, whence flows the river of that 

 name, and also the Dothie. Famous for its trout 

 and eels. 



LAKE EQUANT, about a mile in circumference. 

 Trout and eels : many of the former are very large, 

 and cut red like salmon. 



LLYN HIR, or " the Long Lake," which lies 

 about three hundred yards from the Teivi, has the 

 finest fish. They are not very fond of the fly, but 

 greedily take a well-scoured worm, maggot, or caddis. 

 The peasantry destroy a great' number of these 

 noble trout by night lines. A single individual lays 

 down from one to two dozen, and he generally finds 

 himself fully occupied during the \yhole of the 

 night in disengaging the fish. 



The pool styled par excellence " Teivi Lake," 

 and all those in its neighbourhood, are full of red 

 trout ; in some, of two or three pounds ; in others, 

 they are all small, and are more easily taken in pro- 

 portion as they decrease in size. 



LLYN GORLAN, about one hundred and fifty yards 

 from the last-mentioned lakes. Trout and eels. 



LLYN AEDDWEN, the source of the Ae'ron, in the 

 parish of Llawrhystydd. Great numbers of trout 

 and eels. Many of the former are of the species 

 called Tngoch, or red-bellied.
