Hall, a distance of six miles by the river side, but two only by the 

 road ; by remaining there more than a week they can also obtain 

 permission to fish in the private waters of the Wye. Not far from 

 Bakewell is Rowsley, where, by staying at the Peacock, the angler 

 enjoys similar privileges. A portion of the Derwent can also be 

 fished. The Derbyshire fish do not usually run large, seldom ex- 

 ceeding an honest pound, though they have been taken up to two. 

 Six hundred brace of trout have been put into the river lately. 



THE DERWENT (Trout and Grayling), Whatstandwell Bridge, 

 Ambergate. By staying at the inn, Mrs. Burley's. Quarters 

 clean and moderate. Route : rail via Derby. There is also a club 

 called the Derwent Club, which fishes a portion of the river near 

 Chatsworth, we believe the monthly subscription to it is II. Is. 



THE DOVE (Trout and Grayling). By stopping at the Izaak 

 Walton Hotel, at Ham, near Ashbourne, the angler may get leave 

 to fish, from Jesse Watts Russel, Esq., in three or four miles of the 

 beautiful Dove, where he will find a keeper and all necessaries. The 

 routes to all three of the above places are almost similar, by North- 

 Western line, via Derby, and there are branch lines to Rowsley 

 and Ashbourne. The scenery needs no comment here. 



THE KEN, Trout, Salmon, (below the weirs,) Kendal. We 

 do not know what permission is requisite. 



THE TRENT, near Nottingham. From Beeston weir, 4 miles 

 above Nottingham, the fishing is free from the towing path, but it 

 is over fished. On the same side of the river, down as far as New- 

 ark, (20 miles) the river is also free, and there is good grayling 

 fishing when the water is in condition. A good day's sport may 

 be had by the angler commencing at Burton Joice, on the Not- 

 tingham and Lincoln line, and fishing the streams down to Gun- 

 thorpe, Hoveringham, Hazleford, and Fiskerton. The Fiskerton 

 Station is half a mile from the river. Good barbel, roach, dace, 

 and chub, in the season. The pike fishing at Hazleford is pretty 

 good. On the Shardlow water, 12 miles above Nottingham, 

 (Draycot Station, on the Midland line), there is 4 miles of excel- 

 leni water, both sides of the river ; II. Is. per year, or 2*. 6d. per 

 day. Plenty of good grayling streams in this water, and a few 

 trout; excellent barbel, dace, and chub water. The Crown Inn, 

 at Cavendish Bridge, and the Navigation Inn, will be found con- 

 venient. Whitmore, near Burton-on-Trent, on the Midland line 

 from Derby a good fishing water for pike and large barbel, roach, 

 dace, and perch; strictly preserved: tickets 10*. a year with pike 

 fishing, 5s. for bottom fishing alone, or Is. per day. Good accom- 

 modation at the Saracen's Head, and at the Royal Oak, near Bur- 

 ton Bridge. By staying at the Royal Oak, anglers can get leave to 

 fish a mile of capital pike water, belonging to Lord Chesterfield. 

 There are also perch, roach, and dace, of large size in it, and very 

 plentiful. The most successful bait for bottom fishing on the Trent
