trout fishing can be obtained. For instance, Scot- 

 land and Wales, where, from the hilly conformation 

 of the country, the streams are rapid and therefore 

 suitable for trout ; Devonshire, where the trout are 

 small, but very numerous ; the neighbourhood of 

 the Peak, in Derbyshire, than which there is none 

 much better ; the upper portions of the Thames and 

 Lea and their tributaries all these are worth the 

 fly-fisher's attention, and many of them will repay 

 him for the time and trouble spent in visiting them.
