Big Trout 23 



them often "a pounder." In the gullet of one of the 

 latter variety, which took my fly on I3th August, I found 

 the thigh-bone (femur) of a grouse, with a good deal of 

 " pickings " still attached to it ! 



On the Little Dee there is a similar " refuse hole " below 

 the parish church, which is always good for " a big 'un," 

 and on the Lliw there are several, one of the best being just 

 below Pen-y-Pont. As the figures are before me, and may 

 be of interest to some readers, I give below the relative 

 length and weight of some of my larger trout, together with 

 date and name of stream in which captured. The measure- 

 ments are from tip of nose to end of caudal fin.
