WHERE TO FISH 25 



There is no trouble in finding pleasing sea-trout rivers 

 in England, whether the angler is domiciled in the north 

 or in the south. The Cumberland Derwent offers good 

 opportunities in July and August, and reliance can be 

 placed in the Aln during August and September. The 

 Esk usually provides some sport with the arrival of 

 September ; while specimen fish and shoal fish frequent 

 the Lune throughout June, July, August and September. 

 The Wyre is also worth attention in July, August and 

 September. In the Arun anglers will do well in late 

 July and early August. From midsummer onwards the 

 Devonshire rivers are very attractive, and of these 

 special mention must be made of the Tavy, noted for 

 some big fish, the Teign, a really fine length, the Taw, 

 yielding on occasion a big fish of eight pounds, and the 

 picturesque Dart, which, in the season, is fully stocked : 

 the latter river, however, suffers from peat-stained water 

 after violent spates. 



Many of the rivers and lochs of Scotland are renowned 

 for their ample supplies of sea-trout, and while to name 

 any of these waters is a trifle invidious, I should, perhaps, 

 refer to the River Ness, where nice baskets can be obtained 

 from June until the close of the season, and Loch Lomond, 

 which can be fished hopefully from May onwards. 



Ireland, both in the northern and southern areas, is a 

 country where sea-trout fishing may be pursued with a 

 maximum of success. In the western waters the best 

 time is during July and August. Intending visitors to 

 the Irish waters should make a note of the Mourne and 

 tributaries, the rivers of Antrim, the Connemara stretches 

 and those in the Belfast radius. A drawback to numerous 

 Irish rivers is the presence of flax water pollution, which 

 is prevalent in late August. 



Several rivers in Wales give most satisfactory results, 

 and the man in quest of sea-trout will not go far wrong
