five miles. In many places the Crcedy is much 

 overgrown with alders and other bushes, and there 

 is a good deal of barbed wire by its banks, which 

 makes fishing somewhat difficult. There are no 

 angling clubs or associations on this stream, which 

 is strictly preserved by Mr. Quicke, General Sir 

 Redvers Bullcr, V.C., Sir John Shelley, and Sir John 

 Ferguson-Davie, who are the chief riparian owners.

 be conveniently made headquarters by the angler. 



The Teign rises in the centre of Dartmoor, 

 and in its upper parts flows through some grand 

 moor, rock, and woodland scenery. The The 

 lower Teign passes chiefly through a Teign 

 wide, fertile, and well-wooded valley. The angler 

 may make his headquarters at Ghagford (Moor 

 Park, or Three Growns) or Dunsford (Royal Oak), 

 Newton Abbot (Globe) or Ghudleigh (Glifford 

 Arms). The two former are on the upper Teign, 

 and the two latter on the lower Teign. The 

 Upper Teign Association (Ghagford) preserves six 

 miles, and the Lower Teign Association (Newton
