CHAPTER X.

THIS is a splendid country for the angler. 

 Salmon and trout are here in great abundance ; 

 and the fly-fisher may roam from one delightful 

 stream to another, calculating with certainty on 

 always meeting with success, except the weather 

 and season should prove very unfriendly indeed. 

 Besides the pleasures derived from angling itself, 

 there is a constant succession of romantic 

 scenery in travelling throughout Wales ; and this 

 cheers and enlivens the mind, and makes every 

 movement with the rod and line doubly grateful 

 to the understanding and feelings. 



In noticing the angling in Wales, we shall 

 give an enumeration of its rivers, under the head 

 of each county in the principality. This enumera- 

 tion will, it is hoped, be sufficiently copious for 

 all ordinary purposes of direction or reference.
