THE OWENMORE (Salmon and Trout). From Ballina the 

 angler can get to Bangor, by mail car ; and by stopping at the 

 inn there, he will get leave to fish this nice-looking river. After 

 the heavy floods of spring and autumn good sport may be had ; 

 but at other times it is indifferent, as the weir has no gap in it, and 

 the mouth is rather closely fished. There is a large loch, Loch 

 Carrowmore, which holds salmon, and two other small rivers near it. 



THK OWENDUFF (Salmon and Trout). A very pretty river in- 

 deed to fish, and preserved principally for angling, (no cruives), is 

 about five miles from Bangor. The upper and best portion of it, 

 about twelve miles, may be fished by taking a monthly ticket 

 the charge being 60/. per season, or about 251. per month. This 

 includes lodging and attendance. The fish are heavy and abun- 

 dant, and the sea trout fishing excellent. The accommodation is 

 at the lodge at LacdufF. Apply for further information to Mr. 

 Farlow, fishing tackle maker, 191, Strand. The flies for these 

 last two rivers are peculiar. Pat Hearns, of Ballina, might sup- 

 ply them. Or the whole, with 1 2,000 acres of capital grouse shoot- 

 ing, to be disposed of. This river is the far-famed Ballycroy, spoken 

 of by Maxwell, in his "Wild Sports of the West." 



THE BALLISADARE FISHERY, LOUGH GILL AND LOUGH 

 ARROW, Sligo. Near Sligo is a capital lough Lough Gill ; per- 

 mission may be had by a proper application to the various proprie- 

 tors, of whom Colonel Whyte, of Newton Manor, is one. There is 

 excellent fishing in the Lough. The Ballisadare fishery, is a fishery 

 made by means of salmon stairs, applied by Mr. Cooper, the pro- 

 prietor. Mr. Cooper most kindly gives leave to strangers, to 

 trout fish, and the trout fishing at Lough Arrow, though not so good 

 as formerly, is still good. 



LOCH MELVIN (Salmon and Trout), Garison, Fermanagh. 

 By stopping at Scott's Inn, or the bailifFs, on the loch. Very 

 good salmon fishing until the middle of May. In June grilse 

 come in, and show fair sport. Excellent trout fishing of various 

 sorts. Fine gillaroo trout may be caught. Boat, and two men, 

 4s. a day. Board, 21. 2s. per week. Flies at the tackle-maker's, 

 at Ballyshannon. N,B. To fish the best parts of this loch it 

 would be advisable to apply to Mr. Johnstone, of Kinlough House, 

 Loch Melvin, who seldom refuses. The Bundrowse river runs out 

 of the lake ; and to fish it the angler must stop at Bundoran, a 

 pleasant little watering place. Route : rail to Enniskillen, and 

 thence by coach. Well worth a visit. 



THE ERNE (Salmon and Trout), Ballyshannon, Donegal, a few 

 miles from Loch Melvin. A magnificent river, with excellent 

 salmon fishing. Plenty of accommodation. Leave of the proprietor, 

 Dr. Shiel. The angler will find it uncertain about obtaining leave, 

 not from any disinclination to grant it upon the part of the proprie- 

 tor, but in consequence of large numbers of applications.
