flesh is most delicious, and some prefer it 

 to salmon. They may be seen in the Fish- 

 mongers' shops from May till the end of 

 August. 



Another species is the Sewen of Wales, the 

 White Trout of Ireland and England, and the 

 Whiting of Scotland ; they are very bright in 

 colour, and run about the size of Mackerel; 

 they haunt the roughest, strong streams, and 

 gravelly bottoms. When they are hooked on 

 the fly they will spring repeatedly out of the 

 water, and afl'ord pleasant sport for the angler. 

 They take small gaudy flies like the Salmon 

 Trout, and when the water is low, dun flies, 

 black hackle flies with silver ribs, and grouse 

 hackles of a light brown colour and yellow 

 bodies. The hooks about Nos. 6 and 8. 



Another species is the Bull-Trout, which 

 has a short thick head, and a brownish body, 

 covered with spots of a brown colour, and are 

 found in all rivers having communication with 

 the sea, and their tributaries, if there are 

 no obstructions to prevent their running up. 

 They are found running up the rivers in June 

 and July, and in these months and August, are 

 in good season. They are rather a dry fish.
