THE PRACTICAL FISHERMAN. 



and I should think the report very likely to be true. The time for such 

 fishing is during spring and early summer. A writer in a contemporary, 

 under date 18th April, 1866, refers to charr of 21b., but names, as an 

 average size, half-a-pound. I should be disposed to consider this too 

 large, however. 



Probably, owing to the rarity of the fish, it is esteemed as a delicacy, 

 and is, or was, largely sold potted. I do not think much of its flavour.
