THE THAMES. 



some good Trout are always to be found near the head of the 

 small islands which stud the river in the neighbourhood of 



HALLIFORD. 



The fishermen here are the Rosewells and Rogerson ; and 

 the Inn, The Ship. There are some capital Roach-pitches 

 from Halliford to 



WALTON. 



The preserve here extends 250 yards at the east of Tan- 

 kerville's, and west of the horse-bridge, called Walton Sale. 

 This is a noted place for large Pike, some having been taken 

 here weighing upwards of twenty pounds, with the live bait. 

 From Walton Bridge down to Sunbury Weir is a fine piece 

 of water for Jack-spinning ; and the whole water abounds 

 with Bream and Roach. The fishermen are, James Rogerson, 

 George Hone, and the RosewelTs ; the Inns are, The Crown, 

 and the Duke's Head. 



SUNBURY 



Weir is a capital place for Trout at the commencement of 

 the season ; and late in the year I have taken some large 

 Pike with the live bait, when part of the weir has been shut 

 in so as to form an eddy. The preserve extends 683 yards 

 from the weir eastward, to the east-end pile of the break- 

 water. The Inns are, The Flower-pot, New Inn, and The 

 Magpie ; and the fishermen, Fulker, Clarke and Goddard. 

 From Sunbury some good spinning may be had from the 

 towing-path down to 



HAMPTON. 



The preserve extends 1514 yards from the west end of 

 Garrick's Lawn, including the Tumbling Bay, to the Lower 

 Head Pile below Moulsey Lock and Weir. Some good 

 Roach-fishing is to be had in the neighbourhood of Hampton ; 

 the Perch also are of very fair size. The Inns are, Red Lion 

 and The Bell; and the fishermen, Melbourne, Benn and 

 Snell. Several good Trout are annually taken at Moulsey 

 Weir ; and opposite the Lock-house is a good Barbel pitch.
