OF THE ERNE. 9 



are in highly dangerous ground, the whole 

 bottom being strewed with rocks. These, in 

 fact, occasion the roughness of the water, 

 and facilitate the sport in still weather. The 

 fisherman who succeeds in landing his fish 

 here may flatter himself with the idea of 

 being a tolerably skilful performer, while he 

 who loses his fish will never be without a 

 good excuse to cover what may, after all, 

 have been his want of skill. The most dan- 

 gerous part of the throw is a cluster of rocks 

 which divide the Bank of Ireland from the 

 Black Bock Throw ; a tight line is here 

 absolutely necessary, at any risk. 



No. 7. The Sally Bush. 



This throw lies on the right bank, some- 

 what higher than the Bank of Ireland ; it is 

 a rough throw, pretty safe, and the resort 

 mostly of small fish. The fisherman must 

 wade from the right bank of the river, till he 

 arrives at the upper island, and, proceeding 

 from this some ten or twelve yards farther 

 into the stream, he will be able to cover the 

 middle of the river.
