shore. The picturesque tower, which is used for filtering- 

 purposes, generally shelters a good fish or two about its 

 walls, waiting for flies to drop therefrom — a word to the 

 wise. Thence we reach Cedig Bay, a pretty indentation, 

 into which flows a mountain rivulet, which is of consider- 

 able volume in times of heavy rainfall. Still hugging the 

 shore, we reach the bay shown in our illustration — RhiAvar- 

 gor Bay — this has a good-sized river running in at its head. 

 This bay is shut in by bold mountains, rising abruptly 

 from the water's edge, and it is altogether about as delight- 

 ful a spot as an angler could wish to find himself in. Pass- 

 ing round, Ave find ourselves in Eunant Bay, with a river 

 flowing in at its head, and a little island around which good 

 sjiort is often got. The upper end of this bay is now com- 

 monly called the Mayor's Parlour, but I fancy the name has 

 recently been given in honour of the late Mayor of Liver- 

 pool, AA"ho here made record scores. Passing hence, we 

 turn our faces down the lake, and presently reach the in- 

 dentation of Llw^m Rhiw Baj-. 



Along this shore are several mountain rivulets, and one 

 delightful waterfall, which you reach by pushing your boat 

 beneath a big stone bridge. Look up at the roof of the arch 

 as you go through, and you will find it hung with white 

 stylactites of considerable length. The waterfall descends 

 from a considerable height, and if you get out of your boat 

 and stand on a rock at the left-hand corner of the arch, you 

 can command the whole pool, and ought not to leave it 

 without a brace of good ones. That you will be charmed 

 vnth the sylvan beauty of this nook, goes without saying, 

 provided you have any appreciation for what is beautiful in 

 Nature. There are a few more nooks — -which I need not 

 describe — on the way down to the dam, and it will pay to 

 cast into the stones of this structure, for good trout often 

 lie there. Thus we reach the shore in front of the hotel — • 

 which is as good fishing as any part of the lake — and pass 

 into the boathouse bay from whence we started. 



There are two lands of trout in the lake — the aboriginal 

 brownies, and the four hundred thousand Loch Levens put 

 in some four years ago, which have thriven amazingly.
