LAKES, PONDS, &C. 103 



The Paddington Canal, which joins the Grand Junction 

 Canal ; and 



The Regent's Canal, which runs through Regent's Park, to 

 the basin between Limehouse and Stepney, will afford mode- 

 rate sport for Jack and Perch, but are often netted. 



In the Rye Military Canal, large Pike are often taken. 

 Two or three seasons since I saw one weighing 30 pounds, 

 which was taken in this canal, with a live bait. 



In addition to those before-mentioned, there are rivers, 

 canals, lakes, ponds, reservoirs, &c., innumerable, all over 

 England, in which good fishing may be had. I have merely 

 directed the attention of the angler to the best of those 

 known to me. 



There is good fishing in the lochs and rivers of Scotland 

 and Ireland, with few exceptions ; as also in the Llyns of 

 Wales. These have all been so well described in previous 

 works, such as Hofland's, Stoddart's, &c., that in our present 

 limited space it would be only a repetition of names.
