safely landed, and, held on a steelyard, weighed lib. 

 5oz. Then at the extremity of the park where the 

 two streams meet a grayling could be seen quiescent 

 under the opposite branches, but, as before, an 

 experimental cast tempted him to rise from his 

 lethargy and snap at my fly, when, well hooked, 

 and after giving exciting sport, he was brought to 

 bank, under lib. in weight. 



On four other days in November my sport 

 aggregated fifteen and a half brace, and on seven 

 days in December, to finish the season, nineteen and 

 a half brace.
