DEVONSHIRE AND CORNWALL STREAMS 167 



II. Cornwall 



The Inney, a tributary of the Tamar, which it 

 joins a few miles below Dunterton, rises by 

 Davidstown and flows by St. Clether, The 

 Lancast, and Lewannick. It is among inney 

 the best trouting waters of Cornwall, and its fish 

 are earlier and better fed than those of the neicrh- 

 bouring Lynher. It is preserved by Mr. C. G. 

 Archer of Trelaske, Launceston, who occasionally 

 grants permission to fly fishermen and others, and 

 trout of the usual Tamar size are plentiful. The 

 Inney and its tributary the Penpont Water may 

 be fished with the flies recommended for the 

 Tamar,and Launceston makes thebestheadquarters. 

 The Ottery and the Attery, two other Cornwall 

 branches of the Tamar, arc also within fairly easy 

 reach of Launceston, Further north, in the corner of 

 the county, there is a little trouting in the Bude and 

 its branches — which are reached from Holsworthy 

 railway station in Devonshire — as well as in the 

 Bude and Launceston Canal reservoir. 



The Lynher rises near Fox Tor, north-west of 

 Bodmin Moor, and, flowing south-east almost 

 throughout its course, joins the Tamar The 

 estuary at Saltash. It passes through Lynher 

 densely wooded country of slate and granite hills. 

 The Cascade river, which is strictly preserved by 

 Mr. Rodd of Trebartha Hall, Launceston, flows 

 through tamer scenery. The Lynher trout are de- 

 cidedly late for Cornwall, which is perhaps the 

 earliest angling county in the South, and are not in 

 condition much before the middle of April. They 

 are plentiful, and run about eight to the pound. 

 Fly fishing is the only method of angling practised,
