THE AULNE, at Pontargonet, on the route from Morlaix to 

 Carhaix. Good quarters at Huelgoet; three miles. A fine trout 

 stream. Also good fishing at the Cascades of St. Herbot, close by. 

 (Carhaix is a good central position to fish several rivers.) The 

 Aulne is canalized from Chateau Neuf to the sea. At Chateau 

 Lin, thirteen miles from Le Faou, there is tolerable salmon fish- 

 ing in spring. Gaudy flies requisite. (Kemp.) Poor quarters, 

 5f. per diem. ' 



SOUTHERN CIRCUIT. 



THE ELLE (continued). At Quimperle, a fine salmon and 

 trout s-tream, but very much fished. Good quarters at the Lion 

 Rouge, (dear.) 



THE ISOLE. A nice trout stream, at Scaer, on the road from 

 Le Faouet to Cluimper. Poor accommodation. Good fishing, 

 saln.on and trout, all the way down to Quimperle, but no quarters 

 within reach. Falls into the Elle at Quimperle'.

BELGIUM. 



BY T. WESTWOOD, Esa. 



GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. In all the navigable rivers of Bel- 

 gium, the fishing is free, from the 1st of June, to the 31st of 

 March following. In the smaller streams, anglers are recom- 

 mended not to fish without permission, as the so doing, sometimes 

 entails unpleasant consequences. A little civility on the angler's 

 part, a joke or two, of the proper calibre, and the opportune intro- 

 duction of a bottle of burgundy, are generally sufficient to win 

 over the river-side proprietor to a gracious consent. Should how- 

 ever the angler be caught in "flagrant delit," a trifling bribe to the 

 garde-champtre, is usually sufficient to smooth aw;y all menacing 

 wrinkles. Accommodation is very tolerable in all the regular 

 Ardennes inns, and in the more rural districts, very cheap, also. 

 Food and wine are almost always good. Cleanliness, however, is 

 not the invariable characteristic of the Walloon population. 

 Anglers meditating on an excursion into the Ardennes, are advi- 

 sed to provide themselves, before-hand, with all needful tackle, as 

 none, except of the coarsest and commonest kind, can be obtained
