OR WALTONIAN CHRONICLE. 103 



for large Barbel, but since the old bridge has been 

 removed, the fish have been disturbed ; on the tow 

 path above Kingston bridge, are fine Roach deeps, 

 and good swims, and in the meadows on the Surrey 

 side, opposite, there is a chance by dipping. The 

 Swan at Ditton is a house much frequented by Ang- 

 lers, and the punt proprietors reap a good harvest in 

 fine weather ; Ditton Deeps contain many fish. The 

 water gallery near Hampton Court bridge is a famous 

 place above which there is good fishing ; at the tum- 

 bling bay, for Barbel, and in the meadows to the right 

 there are many good swims, one in particular, known 

 as Lady Young's hole, has afforded me much sport ; 

 from this swim, and others in the meadows, 1 once, in 

 company with an old friend and Brother Bob, took 

 more Barbel than we could carry, although assisted 

 by a third person, we were very glad to leave some of 

 our sport at Brentford. Hampton Deeps are well 

 known as famous for Roach and Barbel pitches ; in 

 Hampton meadows there is capital bank fishing for 

 Roach in the Winter; on towards Sunbury there are 

 many places that will repay the Angler for his time 

 and patience, and at Walton bridge there is excellent 

 Barbel fishing; Roach, Dace, and Bream are also 

 taken below the bridge, where there resides a person 

 of the name of Rogerson, who will provide you with 

 a punt, and other accommodation if required ; from 

 the banks and osier beds opposite his house there is 

 very good Chub fishing, and many of these Logger- 

 heads are taken.
