 capital large pools for them to haunt, if they 

 were allowed to reach them. It is so very- 

 much netted at its mouth that it cannot he 

 possible for fly fishing to be good. The neigh- 

 bourhood of Machynlleth is the best place to 

 fly fish it. In the spring and autumn the 

 salmon flies in the plates will be found admi- 

 rable for it, made on C C hooks, and C for low 

 water. The furnace and black-red hackles are 

 excellent local flies, made on C hooks, for 

 summer. Sewen take small duns, and the 

 Cochybonddu. 



RIVER TIVEY. 



The Tivey is considered the very best and 

 most prolific river in all Wales. It has a long 

 and winding course to Cardigan, and before it 

 reaches this place, at Newcastle Emlyn, it is a 

 picture of a river for salmon fishing. Lampeter, 

 higher up, is a very good station, near to which 

 place are the " Tivey Pools," where the fish lie 

 in low water. My list of both salmon and trout 

 flies would be excellent for the Tivey, dressed 

 m on small hooks.
