 Wye, (mentioned elsewhere) in this county. 

 There are great quantities of salmon, salmon- 

 springs or salmon pinks, trout, grayling, and 

 a few pike and perch.

 Hay and Builth. It is no uncommon occur-

 hundred pounds weight of salmon in a day, 

 with a good portion of trout. This makes

 of the rod. 



The Lug springs out of Radnorshire, and 

 enters Herefordshire at Presteigne, passes 

 Leominster, and then receives the waters of 

 the Oney, the Endwell, and the Arrow, all 

 abounding with good trout ; flowing through

 agreeable objects to the travelling tourist. The 

 Lug flows into the Wye below Hereford. 

 Leominster is a good fishing station ; but
