are well stocked with all kinds of fish, and 

 large trout are often caught. 



BKOXBOURNE, PAGE'S WATER, AND THE RYE HOUSE, 



Are all good stations on the Lea, and an 

 abundance of bottom fish is to be obtained. 



The Eiver Colne takes its rise in Hertford- 

 shire. It is a good fishing-stream in some of 

 its localities, where it is not injured by the 

 mills and chemical works which are situated 

 on its banks. I have seen fine trout taken 

 out of it at Uxbridge, but the waters are here 

 rigidly preserved. In some parts of the river 

 pike abound, and the trout are very scarce. 



Denham is considered the best trout locality 

 on the river. A great variety of flies are 

 used by anglers on this stream ; and a good 

 deal of fancy enters into what are considered 

 favourites. The best ones I have found were 

 the red palmers and a dark body, with drake 

 or woodcock wing.
