130 REMARKS ON THE 
exertions to maintain the welfare of the club, and is indeed 
well worthy of the respect and esteem in which he is held 
by his brother anglers. This club is also limited to thirty 
members, but no day tickets can be obtained ; the rules, 
too, are strict, no wading being allowed before June, and 
several other restrictions ; however, in the end, the mem- 
bers reap the benefit, and I wish with all my heart that the 
same rules could be enforced on several others of our York- 
shire streams that Icould name. At Pool, which is the next 
station to Otley, Mr. Lodge, the landlord of the “‘ White 
Hart” Hotel, has the power to grant permission to any 
anglers, staying at his house, to fish over a nice length of 
the river, which flows through two fields belonging to him, 
and which are situated behind his house, strangers however 
should write beforehand, as the accommodation is limited. 
The Wharfe next flows past the village of Arthington, and 
at that place day tickets are issued by the landlord of the 
“Wharfedale” Hotel, at a charge of one shilling each, and 
the river consequently being fished incessantly by Leeds 
anglers, little is to be done, even by a skilled hand, unless 
it be either in a coloured water or ona very favourable day. 
The cream of the fishing ends here, although there are some 
fine streams near Harewood and Collingham, but the river 
is preserved by the Earl of Harewood, and other riparian 
owners. 
The next Yorkshire river of importance to the flyfisher 
is the Derwent, especially that portion in the vicinity of 
the fashionable watering place, Scarborough ; about five 
miles thence, at' Ayton, some excellent sport may at times 
be experienced on the fine length of water preserved by 
the Derwent Angling Club; day tickets may be obtained 
from Mr. Patrick, fishing tackle maker, Scarborough, at a 
charge of five shillings per day ; on one portion of the river, 
near to Hackness, only artificial fly is allowed, and the 
angler’s take is limited to ten brace of either trout or gray-
