The Mongaup at De Bruce is a fine, small, early 

 stream. The little Beaverkill, a mile or two above 

 Parksville Station, is a good small stream. A

 larger streams, affording excellent early-season 

 fishing. The upper Neversink is good, but the

 as it will be in a few seasons ; it is now being well 

 stocked. It was formerly one of the best native 

 trout streams in the county, wide with many deep 

 pools.

 brooks yield good fishing. Esopus Creek and 

 others are well stocked. Crossing the Hudson 

 into the Berkshires and thence into

 the coast, there are many streams and brooks well 

 stocked with trout, affording really good fishing. 



In the mountain streams of North Carolina and 



Virginia, the brook trout is found at home, and
