FISHING STATIONS. 



angler can always find amosement with the chub and dace 

 down stream, and an occasional trout or two when the state 

 of the river or atmosphere precludes all serious trout 

 fishing. Dolecoed House is a boarding-house, and the 

 charges are very moderate. There is also rather a famous 

 mineral spring there. 



Machtntxeth.— See Tyn-y-Cormel. On the banks of the Dovey. 

 Salmon, sewin, and sea trout, and common trout are 

 abundant. The landlord of the Wynnstay Arms has the 

 right of fishing. 



Mae-VTWHog. — Stay at Lloyd's Hotel There is a capital river 

 running within fifty yards of the house ; '^t is small and 

 preserved, but contains salmon, sea trout, and sewin. It rises 

 and falls very quickly. The charge to fish is Is. 6d. per day. 



Monmouth. — On the Wye. Trout and salmon. Fair fishing is 

 to be had both above and below the town. A small brook, 

 the Trothy, runs close to the town and is full of trout.

 four miles above the embankment are the best. A good- 

 sized cinnabar moth (peacock herl, body; wings, red 

 parrot, and dusky, black mixed, dressed buzz), and the 

 common blue butterfly, or a fly with body blood red, and 

 wings mallard. A dim daddy-long-legs is also a good fly. 

 Lake Edno contains the largest size trout of any in Wales. 

 Gwynant is very vmcertain. To secure a dish of fish in 

 Edno act thus : Take up the mountain a double blanket, a 

 kettle, some tea, &c., &c., and a box of matches. Fish Edno 



from daybreak to ten or eleven o'clock. Then go to Llyn 

 Cwn (a small lake close by), where the fish are very large 

 indeed, or else to a lake hsdf-way down the hill, and about 

 five return to Edno and fish until night. Should rain come 

 on there is a cowshed near the path, but beware of moving 

 if there be a mist. 



Rhayader (^Radnorshire). — On the Wye. There are several other 

 streams, including the Martez, Ithon, and Ellen, where fair 

 trout fishing may be had.

 lake lies to the south of the river Dee, which runs near the 

 village.

 obtained at a sUght cost. The preserve extends to Usk 

 Town. The trout fishing is open until October 14. 



Tyx-y-Cobmel. — On the banks of Tal-y-Llyn. A very good inn

 brown, and cowdung ; occasionally the alder and fern web. 

 Machynlleth is the nearest town.

 station. There is a capital inn called the Three Salmons 

 there (see Trostrey).

 the hills above Grantully; it is full of small trout. The 

 loch is let with the shooting. 



Amblbee. — Loch Truchie Ues near. There is a good inn here 

 (see Dunkeld). 



Abdqay (Ross-shire). — The innkeeper here rents some portion of 

 the north bank of the Carron, and has room for three rods, 

 charging 5s. per day, and taking the fish. The best time for 

 grilse is from the middle of June. 



BntSAY (Orkney). — See Orkney. 



Brodick (Isle of Arran). — The steamboat plies three times a 

 day between this place and Glasgow, and once a "day from 

 Ardrossan. There is a very fine hotel where the steamer 

 touches. The river fishing is worthless (see Lamlash). 



COBBIE (Isle of Arran). — Steamers run three times a day from 

 Glasgow, and once a day from Ardrossan. There is a 

 capital hotel here. The river fishing is worthless (see 

 Lamlash). 



Corriemcchloch. — Loch Truchie lies within a few miles (see 

 Dunkeld). There is a nice inn here. Within a few hundred 

 yards of the inn is a small loch containing some large trout. 

 They will not rise except in early morning and late evening. 



Gbianlarich. — On Loch Dochart. Trout, perch, and sometimes 

 salmon. There is a good inn here, and coaches pass daily during 

 the season, going to all parts of the country. The fishing in 

 Loch Dochart is not very good, but sometimes very heavy 

 baskets are made during the floods. Late in the season 

 salmon find their way into the lake and up the river running 

 into it. The fishing in the river Dochart is sometimes good 

 (see Luib). There are two good bums joining Loch 

 Dochart both full of fish ; the angler cannot mistake them 

 by walking down the road. There are two lochs, Marrigan 

 and Essent, belonging to — Place, Esq., some three miles 

 over the hills on the other side of the river, both very 

 full of fish. A day may sometimes be obtained. About sis 

 miles behind the inn, to the south-west, is a mountain tarn, 

 holding some large fish, and another on a mountain range 

 close to the inn, to the westward. The one on the west of 

 the mn is a little pool containing some splendid trout. By 



taking the road to Inveraman, at the head of Loch Lomond, 

 the river Falloch is soon reached, where capital fishing can 

 be enjoyed (see Inveraman). 



Dalooshxie. — On Tummel. From here to Eanloch Rannoch the 

 fishing is decent and free (see Kinloch Rannoch). 



Dalhally. — On Loch Awe. Salmon, trout, ferox, pike, perch. 

 Very good trolling can be had in the loch. The inn is very 

 good. Boats are easily obtained. The best time to go there 

 is from the beginning of July to the end of the season. The 

 river Orchy joins Awe close by the hotel, and any one 

 staying in the place may get as much salmon fishing as he 

 likes in its waters. The fishing late on is very fair. There 

 are several small rivers and bums in the immediate neigh- 

 bourhood of Dalmally, all fuU of trout, though small. There 

 are two or three hUl lakes some short distance in the hills 

 full of trout. The river Awe, which runs out of the loch, is 

 strictly preserved. Coaches pass the inn door daily. 

 Dalwewde (Perthshire). — On Loch Erroch. One of the best 

 trouting-lochs in Scotland. Owing to the climate it is very 

 littie use fishing in this loch before July or August. Spinning 

 with a small trout, lai^e ferox are constantly taken. The 

 best part of the loch for trolling is from the Forester's Lodge, 

 near the middle of the loch, to the west end, and as near the 

 shore as can be done with safety to the tackle. The best 

 flies are red, yellow or orange, green and black bodies. The 

 red, yellow, and orange, should have a red hackle, and the green 



I a black ; the red is the best. The wings are woodcock, jay. 



I or teal ; the body should be ribbed with gold. There is a 



capital inn here. The Inverness mail runs daily past the 



i inn. 



' DuNKKLD. — On Tay. By staying at the Bimham Hotel the 

 angler can fish for salmon in a small portion of the river: 



j all the rest is strictly preserved. Loch Oi-d, near here, is 



first rate as a trouting-loch, but leave must be obtained from 



I the Duke of Athol. The river Bran joins Tay at this place. 



I It runs out of Loch Truchie nearly twelve miles south- 



j west of Dunkeld. There are plenty of fish, and the angling 



is free. The end of May or beginning of June is the best 



I month for this loch.
