MONTGOMERYSHIEE. 



Among the fishing stations in this shire the following may be 

 enumerated as the principal : 



Montgomery may be ranked among the best stations in the 

 county. 



Berriew, on the junction of the Rliiw with the Severn, about 

 four miles from Welshpool, and on the road between that town 

 and Newtown. 



Llanidloes, fourteen miles from Newtown, and the neighbour- 

 hood within a compass of about five miles. Flowing by the 

 side of the Aberystwith road is a beautiful and w r ell-stocked 

 Trout stream, and another, named the Clywedog, abounding 

 in Trout and Greyling, runs into the Severn close by. Five 

 miles from the town, near the source of the Wye, is another 

 station Llangurig. 



Bodaioch, on the Tarannon, five miles from Llanidloes, is a 

 good station, as is also Llanmerewig, four miles from Newtown. 



Llanvyllin, twelve miles from Welshpool ; Llandysilio, eight 

 miles from that town ; and Trewern, are admirable stations. 



Llanwddyn, in the Owddyn, a tributary of the Vyrnwy, 

 twelve miles from Llanvyllin, offers abundance of Salmon, 

 Trout, and Greyling. 



Meivod may be described as an excellent fishing station. It

 and the Colwyn, are in the neighbourhood.

 charm of wood and river scenery. Here, amid Nature's choicest 

 beauties, the angler may pursue his sport with every accessary

The stations enumerated above are principally situated upon 

 the rivers and streams of Montgomeryshire. But, in addition
