ENGLAND. 



THE GRETA and DERWENT. (Trout). Preserved. By season 

 ticket, price 5s., taken of the angling association, at Keswick. 

 Good accommodation at Keswick ; lovely scenery, and fair sport. 

 Rail to Penrith ; coach to Keswick. Wastwater, via Whitehaven 

 Railway, to Drigg Station. 



At WAST WATER there is a good inn ; fish plentiful, but moder- 

 ate in quality ; some very large ones may be taken with the min- 

 now, but are seldom caught above lb. with the fly. Burnmoor 

 Tarn is about three miles from the head of the Lake. Trout there 

 are of a good size and splendid eating. Large pike in it also. 

 About the best lake for sport with fly of any in Cumberland, is 

 Crummock Tarn, but fish only moderate eating. Not very far 

 from Wast Water is a small lake belonging to Mr. Stanley, called 

 Dovock Water. The fish there are excellent, but the sport is un- 

 certain. Any one may angle fairly on it, and have the use of the 

 boat. There are some quiet countrified inns about three miles 

 from it, and the scenery is fine. 



AT NETHER WASTDALE there is a comfortable inn. The lake 

 is free. At Penrith, on the Lancaster and Carlisle line, the angler 

 can fish the Eamont, and Ullswater from Appleby or Brough. 



ULLSWATER, fishing moderate; the hotel at Patterdale first 

 rate. A mile and a half from Patterdale is Angle Tarn, where, on 

 any favourable day, one may catch a creel full of fine trout as 

 to quality, but not very large. 



A few miles from either Penrith or Shap Station, on the same 

 line, the Eden can be fished. The trout in the Lake District gene- 

 rally are not large ; and only those in Burnmoor Tarn and Dovock 

 Water are really worth eating. 



THE LUNE (Trout), Kirby Lonsdale. Via Great Northern line 

 to Leeds, on to Hornby, on the little North- Western line. Daw- 

 son's Royal Hotel, or the Green Dragon, will be found both com- 

 fortable and moderate. Healthy, and fine scenery. 



THE WENNING (Trout), Yorkshire. Rail, via Leeds, to the 

 lapham Station on the North- Western Railway. Stop at the 

 Horseshoe Inn, close to the station. There are numerous streams 

 in the neighbourhood, in which the landlord gives leave. 



THE WHARFS (Trout and Grayling), Yorkshire. Rail via 

 Leeds, to Skipton Station on the North- Western Railway. Thence 

 by fly to Bolton, five miles. An excellent inn at Bolton Bridge, 

 and the trout fishing very good in the grounds of the Duke of 

 Devonshire, at Bolton Abbey. Free to persons living at the inn. 

 Also, from Skipton, by fly to Kilnsey, ten miles, there is excellent
