ON DUNEATON WATER 357 



there were in addition many immature trout that 

 fastened securely, and bad luck was in constant 

 attendance as we raised, ran, and lost a few trout 

 better than any we secured. 



In spite of all misfortunes, though our good day, 

 the day of east wind and a black water, is still to 

 come, we shall continue to have confidence in Dun- 

 eaton Water. We have never gone expecting a 

 great basket, for the conditions have never raised 

 hopefulness of that within us, but a pleasant day, 

 with a few beautifully marked trout, well fed, 

 pink-fleshed, and full of sport, has always been 

 ours, and what more can angler desire ?
