Teddington Banks are remarkable for good

Kingston-wick and Kingston, are famous for 

 barbel, roach, and dace. 



At Hampton and Sunbury there is good an- 

 gling for barbel, roach, dace, chub, gudgeons, 

 and skeggers ; and from the Aits, for trout and 

 large perch. 



Walton Deeps and Shepperton Pool abound 

 with large barbel and dace. 



At and about Windsor is a vast variety of all 

 sorts of fish ; but if a man be found angling in 

 another's water, (without leave) he is fined very 

 hiL h by the court of that lown> if he only catches 

 a. single gudgeon, &c. 



Of the r.versthat empty themselves into the 

 Thaiiu-s, and of others which are not far from it 

 1 shall begin with those on the north-side. 



1. liford river, the upper part of which 

 abounds with roach, dace, and some perch, but 

 between Ilford and the Thames, especially about 

 thr; e miles from the town, there is pike. 



2. Woodford river, stored with perch, chub > 

 roach, and dace. 



3. Stratford river affords the angler good di- 

 version for roach, dace, chub, perch, &c. 



4. Bow river, having the same fish in it as the 

 Stratford river. 



5. Hackney river, having plenty of largebarbel^ 

 chub, roach, dace, gudgeon, eels, and lampreys. 

 In this river the barbel 5 , eels, and gudgeons, are 

 very fine. The river Lea runs here, au<i the 

 higher you go up it the greater sport you will 

 have : the Rve-house,near Hoddesdon, (famous 

 for the plot) is an excellent part to go to for di*
