day, one, two, or three salmon may be taken on the loch, and 

 numbers of fine brown trout The principal difficulty the angler 

 will experience will be in getting a boat. There are but two on 

 the loch, one of which is a joint-stock affair, belonging to five or six 

 gentlemen, and the other is private. The trout fishing on the 

 river is rather good ; and if the river be in good order, the angler 

 may seduce a few white trout, or a salmon or two, out of one of 

 the lower pools particularly if he can get leave to fish the mill 

 pool, which is not included in the general permit, it is a very 

 early river, but the fishery is ruined after July by the flax water, 

 which sickens the fish. The test way to Rathmelton is via 

 Deny which is reached by rail. 



THE BANN and THE BUSH are rivers which were good salmon 

 rivers, but, from a variety of causes, are now indifferent. There is 

 good trout fishing in the former, but it is much fished. It is 

 quite free. All we know of the latter, is that it has been constant- 

 ly in the market, and apparently but seldom found a bidder for it. 

 A fact which is significant. 



THE WESTMEATH LAKES, Mullingar. Capital fishing, in the 

 Mullingar lakes, which have lately been protected by an associa- 

 tion. By rail from Dublin to Mullingar. 



THE COSTELLO and GOWLA are rivers in Connemara. 

 Both fished by clubs. The former, an admirable river, showing 

 excellent sport, is difficult to get upon. 



NORTH WALES. 



THE CONWAY (Salmon and Trout). Excellent fishing to be 

 had here by season, month, week, &c. Terms may be known by 

 application to Mr. Peggs, Eagle's Hotel, Llanwrst, N. Wales. 

 Route, rail to Conway. 



THE DEE (Trout), At Llangollen or Corwen ; or at Llan- 

 saintffraid, which is in the centre of the water. Tickets 21. 2s. per 

 season, or 2s. Qd. per day. From March till end of May the best 

 season. Rail via. Shrewsbury, to Llangollen Road. 



CARNARVON (Salmon and Trout) There are three rivers here 

 the Seiont, the Gwynfai, and the Lyfni, which are all open, and 

 where the fishing is tolerable and improving, from 1st of February 

 to May, and from August to the end of October ; but the salmon, 

 are not very plentiful. There are also several lakes in the neigh- 

 bourhood. The Castle Hotel, Mr. W. "Williams's, will be found 

 reasonable, and there are lodgings to be had in the town at all rates. 

 Route as before.

 lent fishing, improving yearly, under the protection of an associa-
