GRAYLING FISHING 



XEAB 



LUDLOW. 



' The river glides at the bottom of the garden, and there is no 

 ' stream in England more productive of grayling.' SALMOMA. 



SI\(K the preceding chapter was written, I have 

 had the following account of Grayling fishing sent 

 me. I was at first tempted to embody it with the 

 .short account I have given of that fish, but on se- 

 tiind thoughts, I determined on publishing it just 

 a-I received it, and I am sure that it will be read 

 with interest and pleasure by my brethren of the 

 rod and line. The Author, as will be readily seen, 

 is a good practical angler, and his remarks will be 

 found to be equally useful and pleasing. He clears 

 up some of the erroneous statements which have 

 been made respecting the habits, growth, and the 

 best mode of fishing for the grayling, and gives the 

 result of his practice and experience with an evi- 

 dent wish that others should benefit by them. 

 I now beg to offer him my best acknowledgments
