140 ANGLING. 



PEMBROKESHIRE. 



The fishing rivers are but few in number in this county, and of 

 no great note. The Eastern Clecldy rises in the mountainous 

 districts, and the Western Clecldy from the vicinity of St. Cathe- 

 rine's. The Nezern is a good angling stream. There are likewise 

 the Gwayx, and the Solva. 



GLAMORGANSHIRE. 



There are many good waters in this part of Wales. The Rom*

 Avon, with its feeders, are all well stocked with trout and salmon. 

 The lakes in this part are not worth naming.

SCOTLAND. 



SCOTLAND is a peculiarly interesting section of Britain to the rod- 

 iisher. It is interesting in some essential points. It has almost a 

 boundless range of angling waters ; it is an almost entirely free 

 country to move and rove about in with the rod ; and it has some 

 of the wildest and most sublime scenery of which this, or perhaps 

 any other country can boast. These are some of the leading 

 features of this piscatory land, calculated to solicit the attention 

 of the rod-fishing tourist, and to induce him to take a ramble 

 through such a district for the full and effective indulgence of his 

 favourite snort. The majority of anglers in England know scarcely 

 anything of the feeling of independence and the hilarity of spirit 

 which glow in the bosom of the Scottish angler, who can go over 

 hundreds of miles, and ramble from the banks of one stream to 

 another, without ever dreaming of any one asking him, " Whither 

 goest thou ? " 



We regret to have to premise at the outset, that the number of 

 sporting waters is so great, that it is impossible, in our limited 

 space, to do anything like individual justice to them in the way of 

 description. We are compelled to offer a mere rough and general 

 sketch of the principal of them, but which will, we ho^e, have the 

 good effect of inducing the anglers of England to migrate for a 

 season to Scotland, so that they may be in a position to judge ot'
