English and Welsh Reports. 
Lower Thames. — General Remarks. —I was 
somewhat surprised, on going by railway to Hampton 
Court on Monday morning, to find, on nearing the 
station, the river Mole was in such a dirty condition, 
and pouring its volumes of coloured water into the 
Thames. As I got to the Castle Hotel, where the river- 
keepers’ dinner is to take place on March 10, I met the 
veteran, William Milbourne, in the best of health and 
spirits, but complaining of another stoppage to angling 
and the weirs still open. On making my arrangements 
with Mr. Mayo, he showed me a great bundle of tele¬ 
grams, and an immense number of letters he had received, 
congratulating him on the result of the libel case last 
week. There are few men I know possessing a greater 
amount of courtesy and attention, and it was on the day 
of our river trip dinner last year when the letter of which 
he complained appeared, and the guests, unsought for, 
unanimously resolved to support him in the vindication 
of his character and high reputation. I have been 
asked why the T. A. P. S. did not send a deputation to 
the Thames Conservators in the matter of the bye-laws, 
and_ I can best answer that inquiry by stating I was in a 
position to report to the committee, the board bad 
acceded to nearly all their suggestions, and it is only the 
question of the sizes of fish, especially jack, which is 
still in abeyance. There is a general complaint amongst 
the fishermen of the bad state of trade, and few can 
remember such a stoppage as there has been for the last 
two or three months, through the wretched condition of 
the changeable and frosty weather, in preventing anglers 
from coming on the river. In many instarioes competi¬ 
tions have had to be postponed. In the movement 
which is being made to increase the value of the Lower 
Thames as a trout-fishing river, it ought to receive every 
encouragement.—B. 
Upper Thames.— Although the river has been in 
fairly good angling trim daring the past week, very few 
noteworthy successes have to be recorded; but this 
aearth of sport must be put down chiefly to the lack of 
visitor anglers rather than to the non-biteability of the 
fish. Local anglers have everywhere done good business 
with roach and chub, and here and there jack from 61b. 
to 91b. have succumbed to live-bait work. The upper 
waters in the vicinities of Bray, Maidenhead, Marlow, 
and Medmenham to-day (Thursday) are in seasonable 
condition for any fishing, and jack work should particu¬ 
larly reward those who attempt the same. Weather 
delightfully fine with slight indications of frost.— Mar¬ 
low Buzz. 
Thames (Hampton).— One of the bank anglers in 
the day got two and a half dozen of roach, and a jack 
of SJlb. 
Thames (Kingston). —There has been nothing 
done. John Johnson made two attempts to get at the 
fish, but he failed in doing so. 
Thames (Monkey Island). —Considering the rain 
we have bad, the water is not so bad a colour as might 
have been expected. There were several bank anglers 
down on the i2th inst., but very little doing. Mr. Win¬ 
dred and Lawes out with a punt, got a few very good 
roach ; Mr. Warrington, of the Phcenix Club, got a few 
very good roach while fishing off the raft on the island 
While I was talking to him he hooked and landed a jack 
about IJlb., with a small roach hook, baited with two 
gentles. In all my experience for the last fifty years 1 
have never seen a jack taken out of the ’Thames with 
gentles. I have beard of them being taken in ponds 
with gentles, but never heard of one being taken in the 
Thames.— P. Plummer. 
Thames (Oxford).— Notwithstanding the rain and 
discoloured water, jack have been well on the move, and 
several good takes are to hand ; a Mr. Deadman secur¬ 
ing S' good fish a little over 121b., and plenty of smaller 
fish have been taken. Mr. Albert Stone, a member of 
the Oxford Angling Society, took a splendid jack on 
Thursday, weighing 141b. 5oz. Roach fishermen are 
remarkable here by their absence. Good bags ought to
