In fact the colors of the trout, and its fpots, vary 
greatly in different waters, and in different feafons ;

a lake in South Wales, are trouts called Coch y dail, 
marked with red and black fpots as big as fix- 
pences ; others unfpotted, and of a reddith hue, 
that fometimes weigh near ten pounds, but are bad 
tafted. | | 
In Lough Neagh in Ireland, are trouts called there 
Buddaghs, which { was told fometimes weighed thirty

‘my {tay inthe neighbourhood of that vaft water.
