200 RIVERS; AND HOTEL FISHINGS. 



(1911) there were several catches of between 

 three and four dozen. 



To jump a matter of four hundred miles 

 which is nothing to a really enthusiastic angler 

 with a sufficient length of holiday I should 

 like to name the Fox and Hounds Hotel at 

 Eggesford, North Devon ; where the proprietor 

 has some fifteen miles of good trout fishing. 

 The size limit is eight inches, and the number 

 limit two dozen a day. Wading is not 

 necessary but is an advantage. The season 

 opens from i March to 30 September and 

 fishing is free to all the hotel visitors. The 

 terms of the hotel are three guineas a week. 



In a letter this year, as to recent doings, the 

 proprietor Mr. Littleworth gives me the 

 following extract from his visitors book of 

 last season (1911). ' March 28th 20 trout 

 weighing nine pounds; March 29th 20; March 

 30th 10 ; April 3rd 9; 8th 8; i2th 6; i5th 4; 

 1 7th 7; i8th 5; igth 13; 2ist 6; 22nd 13; 24th 

 8; 26th 18 (weighing nine pounds) and April 

 28th 12; a total of 206; the heaviest fish being 

 fourteen ounces, with several of a full twelve 

 ounces. 



Of the Axe in Devonshire, and the Dove in 

 Derbyshire, I have already spoken. 



On the River Otter, South Devon fishing 

 can be obtained either by staying at the 

 Imperial Hotel, Exmouth, or the Rolle Arms 

 Hotel, Budleigh-Salterton. A limited number 

 of Day Tickets, which are not transferable, are 

 issued from the Rolle Estate Office, Exmouth,
