thrush resumes his note in Gowbarrow park ; 

 and the wood-crowned rise of Dunmallet, at 

 the foot of the lake, smiles in all the pride 

 of summer sheen. 



Ullswater contains a species of trout which 

 very much resembles the char, and the inn- 

 keeper at Pooley bridge, who generally rents 

 the fishery, will stoutly maintain that they 

 are the same, varying only from accidental 

 circumstances, such as difference of water 

 and food. However this may be, for on 

 this point I should not like to hazard an 

 opinion, they are potted and sold as char, 

 and those persons must be endowed with 

 refined palates who can perceive the differ- 

 ence ; an angler who has been at the water 

 side from five in the morning until nine, and 

 who walks eight or ten miles before break- 

 fast, I am satisfied, cannot. In a dam at the 

 foot of the lake, great quantities of eels are 

 taken ; and the trouts which are caught in 

 the river Eamont are easily distinguished 

 from those of the lake from which it runs.
