Montgomeryshire are well adapted for rpd-fishing ; 

 much more so than further down the river. 



The Vrynwy rises on the border of the county, 

 and receives a number of small streams ; as, the 

 Eunant, the Afon, the Gedig, the Afon Gytinan, 

 the Glasgwn, and the Gown. All these feeders

 angler. The Vyrnwy receives the Cain, and, a 

 little farther down, the Tdnat. This river rises 

 near the border of the county. Tt receives 

 several waters ; as the Rhaiadr, the Afon Harrog, 

 and the Ymrch. Here there is good fly-fishing. 

 The rivers are bright, sparkling, and flowing.
