200 WINTER ANGLING 



up to a couple of pounds, I prefer the Salmo fario 

 or brown trout, or the Salmo fontinalis referred 

 to above (American brook trout), both on account 

 of beauty and docility. 



In the foregoing chapter I have, I think, com- 

 pletely demonstrated the possibility of the breed- 

 ing of trout. The winter days are often vacant of 

 sports ; and if any one derives amusement or in- 

 struction from these teachings, I am amply paid 

 for the trouble I have taken to make the process 

 clear.
