At Laleham the trout, dace, and chub fishing is good. 



Penton Hook has a fine and extensive deep ; and the fishing is 

 similar in character to the last, but better. 



Staines is the last station under the society's charge, and the fish- 

 ing is pretty good. There are some large barbel, roach, and chub ; 

 and towards the embouchure of the Colne, which runs in here, there 

 are a good share of pike and perch. 



From this the Thames winds past Windsor, Datchet, Maiden- 

 head, Cookham, Marlcw, Medenham, Henley, Wargrave, Sonning, 

 Reading, Pangbourne, Streatly, Goring, Wallingford, Culhain, 

 Abingdon, and so on to Oxford all of which are fishing stations. 

 The best of them are Cookham, Marlow, Henley, Sonning, Pang- 

 boure, Streatly, and Culham. The river up here however is getting 

 very overgrown with weeds and rush beds, owing to the almost en- 

 tire cessation of barge traffic. The perch and jack fishing how- 

 ever, after the floods in the winter months, is good all the way 

 from Abingdon to Henly.
