THE THAMES. 457 



Keel Lion, and the White Hart. FISHERMEN, Thomas Milbourne, 

 William Milbourne, William Benn, Wm. Benn, Jan., and John Snell. 

 The charge for a man and punt, with ground-bait and other baits, 

 is 7s. 6d. per diern, as at Richmond. Indeed, all along the river the 

 tez-ms are much the same. 



HARVEY'S SUBSCRIPTION WATER. Just above Hampton Bridge is a 

 large island, called CANEHEAD (five acres), kept for anglers by Mr. HARVEY, 

 who charges Qd. a day for permission to fish, and provides refreshment on 

 most reasonable terms. There are many fine pearch, jack, eels, &c. in this 

 part of the river, and trout are often taken of from five to ten Ibs. weight. 



SONBURY is 16 miles from London, on the Middlesex side of the 

 Thames. Here is very good fishing for roach, dace, barbel, chub, &c. 

 and large trout are frequently taken at the weir. There is also excellent 

 gudgeon-fishing on the scowers. The deep is 200 yards long, lies 

 opposite the church, and forms part of the preserve which extends 683 

 yards from the weir to the east-end pile of the breakwater. INNS, the 

 Flower-Pot, the Magpie, and the Castle ; FISHERMEN, Robert Goddard, 

 James Goddard, Thomas Fulcher, Kitty Johnson, and C. Barren ger. 



WALTON-ON-THAMES is 18 miles from London, on the Surrey side of 

 the Thames, and is one of the best places for pearch-fishing on the 

 river. It has two fine deeps, one of 150 yaixls, and the other of 100 

 yards, at the east of Lord Tankerville's, and west of the Horse Bridge, 

 called Walton Sale, both preserved. They abound in heavy barbel, 

 roach, dace, bream, and chub, and a few pike and trout ; and there is 

 good bank-fishing. INNS, the Duke's Head. FISHERMEN, William 

 Rogerson (who has accommodation for anglers by the water-side), John 

 Rosewell, and George Hone. 



HALLIFORD, just above Walton, has excellent fishing. There is no 

 deep. INNS, the Ship. FISHERMEN, James Rogerson, Thomas Rose- 

 well, and Thomas Rosewell, Juii. 



SHEPPERTON is 19 im'les from London, on the Middlesex side, and is 

 an excellent station. It has three extensive deeps, the Old Deep, east 

 of the Creek rails, which is 240 yards long, the New, east of the Drain, 

 (also called the Lower Deep,) 200 yards, and the Upper Deep, 200 

 yards long : all three preserved. They are well-stored with roach, 

 dace, chub, and barbel (the latter often very large) ; and there is good 

 bank-fishing, on both sides of the river, for pearch, chub, and jack. 

 The village is small, but good accommodation will be found at the 

 Anchor INN (on the banks of the Thames), the King's Arms, the 

 Crown, and the Ship (Robert Stone). FISHERMEN, William Rogerson 

 and Son, Henry Purdue, Thomas Purdue, James Purdue, and Samuel 

 Purdue. Shepperton is a place of great resort for first-rate anglers, 

 and here the late Duke of Sussex might frequently be seen in a punt. 

 The horse-shoe reach of the river is quite beautiful, and the grounds 

 of Oatlands are seen in the distance. 



WEYBRIDGE is two miles beyond Walton, and 19 miles from London, 

 and has an extensive deep, which is 800 yards from the weir at 

 Shepperton Lock down to Holiday's Bay, and preserved. Trout have 

 of late become abundant here, and there is very good fishing for pike, 

 pearch, barbel, ehub, roach, dace, bream, gudgeon, and occasionally
