free. There are several very good lakes, and the river ; seal 

 shooting at Roundstone. See Advertisement. 



THE DooHAtLA FISHERY (Trout). These lakes, formerly 

 Mr. Young's, have changed hands, but we believe are still to be 

 fished as before ; they are about three or four miles from Round- 

 stone, or five or six from Clifden ; 5s. per day, 1*. to each boatman. 

 Excellent white trout fishing. The angler can find accommodation 

 either at Roundstone or Clifden. 



KYLEMORE (Salmon and Trout.) Good lake fishing to be 

 had here by stopping at the inn some seven miles from Clifden. 



LOUGH IRAGH has also been lately thrown open to the public, 

 and is capital fishing. 



THE KILLERIES. LEENANE is some five or six miles further on, 

 and good fishing may also be obtained here, by stopping at the inn, 

 which is comfortable and pleasantly situated. The Errive which 

 runs in here belongs to the Plunket family, who give permission ; 

 it is one of the wildest and most picturesque rivers, and will well 

 repay a visit. The scenery both here and at Kylemore, particularly 

 at Kylemore, is lovely ; but as these places are much frequented 

 by tourists, the Aborigines begin to know how to spoil the Saxon. 



WESTPORT is some fifteen or sixteen miles from the Killeries, 

 but there is no fishing worth note there. 



At NEWPORT, about five miles from Westport, is a small river, 

 which at times contains abundance of salmon and trout, but it is 

 not a pretty river to fish, being very dull and dead, added to which, 

 it gets much fished. The landlady of the hotel at Newport, Mrs. 

 Bird, obtains leave. The best fishing is in Loch Beltra, at the 

 head of the river, but it requires a boat. There are other fairish 

 lochs in the neighbourhood. Newport Bay, with its numerous 

 islands, is very fine ; and the sail thence to Achill Head justly com- 

 mended. The Cliffs at Achill are said to be eighteen hundred feet 

 in height. The tourist can return to Galway, via Westport and 

 Ballinrobe, by the car. 



THE MOY, LOCH CONN (Salmon and Trout), Ballina. From 

 Dublin by rail to Enniskillen, thence by Bianconi car, via Sligo, 

 to Ballina. Open to visitors upon application to Mr. Little, the 

 weir-owner. Boat and attendance, 5s. per day. All fish returned 

 at the weir, or taken at the market price. The fish in the Moy are 

 small but plentiful, being mostly grilse, with an occasional salmon. 

 A few good salmon are occasionally got in the spring. Accommo- 

 dation at the hotels tolerable. If the angler likes boat fishing, and 

 is fortunate, he may kill five or six fish or more a day here. For 

 flies, boats, &c., Pat Hearns, of Mill-street, will supply all that 

 is needful. A few miles from Ballina is Loch Conn, a large loch, 

 where there are a few very large trout and pike, and fine perch ; 

 sport, however, is rather uncertain, unless the angler doesn't mind 

 spinning for perch, and considering that as sport.
