Lough Derg. October 2, 1773. 
Fiftiermen’s Account. 
From May to Auguft, trout of all kind is the 
moft plenty. 
The largeft Gillaroo is 12 1 pound ; the fmalleft, 
2 pound. There is a red Gillaroo and a white ; 
the laffc is the fmalleft, and the better eating. It 
is white, with black, fpots on it j the red Gillaroo 
is red, with black fpots on it. 
The large Gillaroo have gizzards bigger than 
a turkey gizzard ; they have gravel and little (hells 
in them. Never faw a roe, which is here called 
a pea, in the Gillaroo, nor a milt. They feldom 
take a Gillaroo at the fpawning feafon. They 
are quite different from the other trout ; their 
fpots are larger, and fewer. 
A very large fpecies of trout, of 20 and 30 
pounds weight, called Budhurs, that is, big, re- 
femble the red Gillaroo outwardly, but have no 
gizzards, nor are they broad. Are feldom killed 
till the latter end of the feafon ; that is, from this 
time to Chriftmas.
