CHAPTER II. 



THE TROUT. 



E Trout may be deemed the monarch- 

 of the becks, or rivulets, and small braoks, 

 as the Salmon is of the larger rivers. This 

 fish is of a longish make, and resembles a 

 Salmon more than any other of its species: 

 the head is short and roundish, the nose 

 kkintj, the body thick, and the tail broad ; 

 tfee mouth is wide, and it has teeth not only 

 k^tfae jaws, but in the palate and tongue. 



Trout generally take delight in the cooler 

 and smaller rivers^ which descend from hills, 

 and rocky mountains, and they seem to take 

 a pleasure in striving against the stream ; 

 it is really wonderful to see with what force 

 and agility they will surmount all difficulties 

 in travelling towards the source of rivers> tet
