trout ma}- fall to your lot. I am mit fond of lougli fishing 

 mj'self, and so have not had much personal experiences of 

 the an'i'ling resources of IS^eagh ; hut that it holds leviathan

 secret of the enormous size to which trout here attain is 

 the presence in the loughs of myriads of " pollen," a very 

 delicate little fish, which is classed as a freshwater herring 

 and is very good eating.
