36 SALMONIA. 



TROUT FROM THE COLNE. 



HAL. He is a clean fish, but, in propor- 

 tion, not so thick as my model, which was a 

 fish of 17 inches by 9 inches, and weighed 

 21bs. this is my standard solid. We will 

 try him. Ho! Mrs. B.! bring your scales, 

 and weigh this fish. There, you see, he 

 weighs 51bs. lOJoz. 



PHYS. Well, I am pleased to see this 

 fish, and amused with your sport ; but 

 though I have been imitating you in throw- 

 ing the fly, as well as I can, yet not a trout 

 has taken notice of my fly, and they seem 

 scared by my appearance.
