I30 SOUTH COUNTRY TROUT STREAMS 



is, at the time of writing this, water to be let near 

 Heytcsbiiry. The Wilton Fly-fishing Club's water 

 is leased from the Earl of Pembroke, Mr. Stanley 

 Leighton, Lady Herbert of Lea, and others, 

 amounts in all to upwards of ten miles, and in- 

 cludes both banks. It extends from a point about 

 half a mile above the village of Steeple Long- 

 ford to the town of Wilton. The Club has four 

 railway stations within easy distance of the water 

 —two at Wilton (G.W.R and S.W.R), one at 

 Wylye (G.W.R.), and one at Wishford (G.W.R.). 

 The last-mentioned place is supposed to be par- 

 ticularly good for grayling. The Wilton Club 

 have re-stocked the Wylye on an extensive scale, 

 putting in many thousands oi fario and levenensis of 

 various ages brought from different parts of the 

 country. They also began by re-stocking with 

 grayling, but I do not fancy the latter experiment 

 has been repeated ; perhaps there are too many 

 grayling as it is in the stream. The Club rent a 

 portion of the Berwick stream for re-stocking 

 purposes. The season for trout commences on 

 May I, and ends on September 30, and the season 

 for grayling is from July i to December 31, 

 inclusive ; grayling, however, of 10 inches or less 

 in length may be killed at any time. No trout 

 of under 12 inches in length may be killed, and not 

 more than four brace may be taken in a day — an 

 excellent rule. Eight brace of grayling of over 

 10 inches in length may be taken in the day, and 

 any number of grayling of under that length. 

 The entrance fee is ;^20, and the annual subscrip- 

 tion ;^30. Each member has every year six 

 transferable daily tickets, and no one can become 

 a member of the Club who resides within 20 miles
