222 WHAT I HAVE SEEN WHILE FISHING 



There are steps, ending in a concrete landing, 

 from which the best portion of the pool can be 

 fished, and it is from this spot that Ford has caught 

 many of his best fish. 



PLANTATION POOL. 



Pass round the upper side of the keeper's 

 cottage and follow the path leading to the river and 

 you will come to a sharp bend where the water 

 sweeps off to the opposite side. Here is a rather 

 deep eddy, between which and the stream fish rest 

 before they attempt the long shallow which is 

 before them. Try a bait or two, and, if unsuc- 

 cessful, on to 



MINISTER'S POOL. 



Thie is a very nice pool to look at, and Ford at 

 times gets a fish from it. I must confess myself 

 completely beaten by it, and in such a thorough 

 fashion that I pass it by, and am on to 



ANDERSON'S FERRY POOL, 



where I have taken fish, both from the bank and 

 from one of the two ferry-boats. The bottom is of 

 rough stones, and there is plenty of hiding for the 

 fish ; yet, I fancy, it is a resting place rather than a 

 home, as it is only when the fish are running, and 

 there is a good flow of water, that I have been 

 successful.
