best fishing in it is, from Bradbourn-mill to 

 Wood- eaves cotton-mill. The same flies that 

 are taken in the Dove will kill in it, but the 

 surest bait is the minnow. 



Cubley-brook rises near the village of the 

 same name, and there is good trout-fishing in 

 it from Cubley-mill to where it runs into 

 Boylstone-brook. It is very narrow and 

 woody, and cannot be easily fly-fished. The 

 flies must be showy ones, dressed on a No. 4 

 Kendal hook. The minnow-fishing in it is

Boylstone-brook may be fished with fair 

 success, as far as Foston-dam, with the min- 

 now. It is too narrow and too woody to be 

 fished with the artificial fly. 



Foston-brook can be fished with the minnow 

 from the before-mentioned dam to near Sud- 

 bury, where it runs into the Dove. 



Brailsford-brook may be fished with good 

 success, from the mill to where it runs into 

 Longford-brook. Its trout are of excellent 

 quality, and must be fished for with the 

 minnow. 



Longford-brook, as it flows from the mill 

 of the same name, becomes wide enough for 

 fly-fishing, and it may be successfully fished 

 with the fly or minnow, for about the distance 

 of a mile and a half, until it runs into Barton-
