OXFORDSHIRE. 



The angling rivers of Oxfordshire are the 

 Thames, the Isis, the Windrush, the Evenlode, 

 and the Cher well. 



We have already noticed the Thames in a 

 former chapter. The Isis, which forms an 

 integral part of the Thames, takes its origin in 

 the parish of Coates, in the county of Glouces- 

 tershire. It is a stream of little importance to 

 the angler. 



The Windrush springs out of the Cotswold 

 hills, and running by Burford and Witney, 

 falls into the Isis. The Windrush contains a 

 few trout, and a good many common fish. It 

 is not, by any means, an inviting stream. 



The Evenlode contains rather more trout than 

 the Windrush. The former springs also out of 

 the Cotswold Hills, and flows by Whichwood- 

 Forest arid Charlbury. This river contains a 

 good many pike and eels. 



The Cherwell has its source in the county of 

 Northampton, and running through its centre, 

 falls into the Isis. It is full of perch, pike, 

 eels, and roach. 



CORNWALL. 



This is a good angling part of England.
