BREAM FISHING. 



IT is a land of deep rivers, flowing with quiet 

 current through miles of marsh, and by broad 

 lagoons whose banks are fringed with reeds. 

 Three rivers, a score of shallow meres, locally 

 called "broads," and deep, slowly-moving dykes, 

 combine to make this eastern county a very attrac- 

 tive one for the angler and the naturalist. Those 

 who have been in Norfolk will not fail to recognise 

 the locale of the spot we describe. Twenty miles 

 and more inland from the coast stretches a wide, 

 flat tract of country, through which the rivers 

 Bure, Yare, and Waveney flow with sinuous courses 

 to unite at Breydon Water, and debouch into tho 

 sea by the quaint semi-Dutch town of Great Yar- 

 mouth ; the Yare, the chiefest of the rivers, 

 carries the traffic of the ancient city of Norwich 

 to the sea ; the Waveney, the clearest of the 

 rivers, runs from the little town of Beccles on 

 the south of the Yare ; and the Bure passes by 

 the pretty village of Wroxham, and the beautiful

 north.
