The Ouse is a good stream for trout. The 

 best station is about two or three miles above 

 Buckingham. The Coin is also good. It runs 

 past the villages Bilbury and Barnsby, and

 piscatory achievement to kill in this river eight 

 or ten dozen of good trout in a day. The best 

 flies are the red and black hackles. 



The Wick springs not far from West 

 Wycombe, passes High Wy combe, and runs 

 into the Thames at Marlow. This is, in many

 trout I ever saw taken out of it weighed three 

 pounds and one ounce. It was a fine rich 

 fish. From my own experience in the Wick, 

 I prefer the palmers to any other fly.

 are preserved ; and some interest, or some out-
