160 ART OF ANGLING. 



endangering the strongest tackle. A skilful angler, however, 

 may use tackle of moderate strength, and will find excellent 

 sport. The ordinary bait is a common Trout from three to ten 

 inches in length, baited on six or eight Salmon hooks, tied back 

 to back upon strong gimp. Some of the fish caught in this 

 lake have been known to weigh upwards of fourteen pounds. 

 Large fish, however, are now more rarely met with than 

 formerly, owing to the depredations of poachers. Those of 

 smaller size, two pounds and upwards, are still abundant, as 

 well as fine Eels. The Hog-back Trout, which has the 

 appearance of being much deformed, is also found here. 



Llyn-y-Grinwydden (the pool of the withered tree) contains 

 only Eels and Carp. 



Llyn Hir has excellent Red Trout, but is nearly dried up in 

 the summer. 



In the immediate vicinity of Llanwynog, on the Severn and 

 Tarannon, are some beautiful lakes, surrounded by a rich 

 mountain country ; and Glyn Trevnant, at the junction of three 

 streams near Llanidloes; Llanddinam on the banks of the 

 Severn ; and Llandrinio, at the confluence of that river with 

 the Vyrnwy, are among the haunts most frequented by sports- 

 men. 



The remaining lake stations, containing red and common 

 Trout and Eels, are Llyn Mawr, or the great lake, near 

 Llanwynog; Llyn Tarw, the bull's lake; Llyn Dii, the black 

 lake to the south of Llyn Mawr; and Glas Llyn, the blue 

 lake, at the foot of Piinlimmon. 



ANGLESEY. 



THE only fishing station is at Llyn Coron, in the parish of 

 Llangwffen. Fine Trout are caught, but they must be dressed 

 quickly.
