144 FISHING RIVERS 



reservoirs, with an area of about 864 acres, several 

 natural lakes with an area of 134 acres, and upwards 

 of 30 miles of rivers and streams. Good hotel 

 accommodation can be obtained at Rhayader. In 

 1906 the total number of fish caught on the various 

 waters was 5,252, the heaviest fish weighing 2 pounds 

 14f ounces. Fishing shelters are put up during the 

 season as garages for motors and cycles, stabling for 

 horses, and depositories for lunches, extra fishing- 

 tackle, etc. Particulars can be obtained from Mr. 

 John Jones, Estate Office, Rhayader. 



THE RIVER IVEL 



Excellent fishing can be obtained at the Norton 

 Fisheries Club water, some two miles in length, and 

 which will extend in 1908 nearly four miles, the 

 owners having bought up the exclusive rights of the 

 water belonging to the three neighbouring mills. The 

 River Ivel is thoroughly well stocked with fish ranging 

 from 1 to 4 pounds. A limited number of rods are 

 taken every year at thirty-six guineas each. From its 

 vicinity to London, it affords an admirable oppor- 

 tunity to fishermen living in town, who require good 

 fishing within an easy distance of their homes. The 

 fishing opens on April 15 and closes on October 31.
