WILTSHIRE. 



All the rivers and streams in this county are 

 favourable for angling. They are the Nadder, 

 the Walley, the Bourne, and the Kennet (already 

 noticed). All these contain good trout, of fair 

 size, and good quality. 



The Nadder springs from the north-west part 

 of the county, and passes Chilmark. It abounds 

 with fine rippling streams, and is well adapted 

 for fly. The long deep waters, when there is 

 a favourable curl, will be found full of fish. 



The Walley rises within a short distance of 

 Warminster, and passes Yarnbury and Wilton. 

 This is also a good water. 



The Bourne comes from the eastern part of 

 the county, and will be found a good stream 

 both for trout and grayling. 



All the rivers in this county fall into the 

 Avon. They pass through very romantic and 

 picturesque portions of the county, which leave 

 a pleasing remembrance of them in the angler's 

 mind. 



The Looe runs but a short distance inland. 

 It has two branches which, united, fall into the 

 port of Looe. There are good trout in it, but 

 they are not very large. The anglers on the 

 river are partial to light-coloured flies.
