68 ADDENDUM. 



good Grayling water at Topcliffe. Mr. Fred Hammill at the 

 " Swan " Hotel, himself an ardent angler, can give his piscatorial 

 visitors every accommodation and assistance. Grayling and Trout 

 are found lower down the river, but the coarse fish predominate. 



THE WHARFE. I have little to add respecting the Wharfe. The 

 Kilnsey Angling Club have now one of the best Trout streams in 

 the North of England. There are no Grayling or Smolts, and this 

 the members say accounts for the Trout fishing being so good. 

 The head-quarters of the club is the " Tennants' Arms" Hotel 

 (proprietor, Henry Inman), where day tickets may be obtained at

At Netherside, the Grassington Angling Club water commences

 where good Trout and Grayling fishing can be obtained either from 

 Mr. J. W. Binns, " Red Lion" Hotel, Burnsall; Mr. Ramsden,

 Bridge, and from there to Bolton Bridge free fishing (artificial

 Arms" (proprietor, A. B. Hagar), Bolton Abbey, Skipton ; or at 

 " The Red Lion " Hotel. Below here for some distance the water

 and the Leeds and County Club, but day tickets are not given. At 

 Addingham Low Weir the Ilkley Angling Club joins, and this length

 at a charge of 5s. per day by visitor staying at either of the Hotels
