OR WALTONIAN CHRONICLE. 139 



Anecdote , page 136) This old man was as glad to see 

 the face of a London Angler, as he was that of his 

 own brother : he has often declared that the happiest 

 moments of his life were those he spent when asso- 

 ciating with the fishermen who frequented his house ; 

 but he is gone to his long home, so is old Mrs. Parr ; 

 their son now keeps the " Trout," nothing be- 

 hind them in welcoming the true fisherman, but 

 the water they rented is gone [into other hands, i. e. 

 (Mrs Usterson, Temple Bar) : her subscribers pay 

 two guineas per annum. This water commences near 

 the water called Thorney Broad, on to Drayton Mill, 

 and contains good fish of every description. Through 

 Drayton, on to Colnbrook, and the Thames, the 

 Angler will find many spots to exercise his skill with 

 success. 



The Grand Junction Canal joins the Colne, near 

 Uxbridge, on to Harefield Broad Water, Kickmans- 

 worth, and Watford, in which it is intersected by 

 the Colne in several places ; about a mile and a half 

 above Uxbridge, there is a famous place for Perch. 



At Reislip there is a reservoir belonging to the 

 Canal ; this water is between Pinner and Uxbridge, 

 about three miles from that Canal, to the right of the 

 town ; it contains fine and numerous Pike and Perch. 

 There is a punt for the use of those who fish at this 

 spot, first, of course, obtaining an order from the 

 proper quarter.
