m claret, orange, and yellow flies, and in rough 

 weather gaudy grilse flies are good. 



The flexible minnow would be a capital bait, 

 drawn after the boat, when the trout are not 

 inclined to take the fly. — See an angling tour 

 of the lakes by " Jefiery Green Drake." 



There is very good salmon and trout fishing 

 to be had in the County Tipperary, at the town 

 of Cahir, situated on the Suir ; Kilcommon 

 Cottage on the river side, is a place of great 

 beauty, and the angler may amuse himself in 

 the demesne of Lord Cahir, which contains 

 560 acres ; this place and Clonmel may be 

 reached by railway from Dublin, and on arriving 

 at Kilkenny there is very good fishing in the 

 river Barrow at the town, on the road to Cahir. 



There is a small river called Killmacow, two 

 miles above Waterford, running into the Suir, 

 in which there is beautiful trout fishing, in the 

 Spring and June. 



There are some nice streams in Wexford, for 

 salmon and trout fishing. The "Slaney,"at 

 Scarrawalsh Bridge, near the Barony Forth, is 

 capital for sea trout, in August and the early 

 Spring ; there is good trout fishing the higher 

 you proceed up this fine river.
