feeders in its higher departments, which are well- 

 stocked with trout, though not of a large size. 



The Winster flows from the lake of Winder- 

 mere, and is a good fly-fishing stream. We have 

 seen large trout taken in its streams after a 

 fresh in summer, by trolling with minnow. 



The streams Brathy, and Ruthy, in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Ambleside, abound with trout ; and 

 both the fly and worm can be used with success. 



The river Burbeck runs into the Lune, and is 

 an excellent stream. It has a range of nearly 

 fifteen miles before it joins the latter river. 



The Lakes of Cumberland, all more or less 

 capable of affording a fund of amusement to the 

 angler, are Ulls-water, Derwent-water, Bas- 

 se nthw ait e - water, Over - water, Lowes - water, 

 Crummock-water, Buttermere, E mi er dale-water, 

 Wast-water, and Devock-water. In addition to 

 these, there are smaller lakes called "Tarns," in 

 some of which there are vast quantities of fish. 



These lakes have been so often described, both 

 by anglers and general tourists, that nothing new 

 can be said about them. As our work is not 

 an ordinary guide-book, but a manual for the 

 rambling fly -fisher, we shall content ourselves 

 with a very brief notice of these still waters in 

 Cumberland and Westmorland.
