SUPPLEMENT TO THE PISHING GAZETTE [Apeil 15, 1893 
(".reels. The only good take of trout that has come 
under notice during the last month was one of 23Jlb. 
got hy Mr. Thomas Pringle, Westwood Cottage, Kelso, 
and then that included a couple of good sized bull-trout. 
This basket was killed with fly, and “Creeper,” the 
lucky angler just getting in amongst the trout at the 
right time, and put no time off when “ the rise ” was on. 
Several other small baskets of from 21b. up to 31b. havo 
been got, but these are the exceptions, and not the rule. 
On the Tweed, Mr. T. N. S. Dickson, Glasgow, had eleven 
trout weighing Olb. 2oz., heaviest trout lib. 14oz., and 
his best three 31b. 5oz. On the same river, Mr. John 
Dickson; Glasgow, had eight trout, weighing 211b : and 
on the Whitadder, Mr. J. Middlemass, Glasgow, killed 
thirty-one trout weighing 7Jlb., his heaviest three being 
l|lb. On the Bowmont, below Yetholm, Mr. MacKnight, 
Lempitlaw, had a capital dish of trout of "lb., all the 
flsh being in excellent condition. On the Teviot, Mr. 
Affleck, clothier, Heiton, had 41b. on Saturday ; and on 
the same river, Mr. Thomas Eobertson had 31b. Until 
we get some fresh water into the rivers angling will not 
improve. The annual spring competition of the Kelso 
Angling Association takes place to-day (Saturday), but 
things (io not look like as if the winning weights will he 
heavy.—M a x wheel . 
Irisli Reports. 
Ballinderry. —The water has never been so low for 
years at this time of the year. Since March 19, no rain 
worth mentioning has fallen. Consequently tronting 
is a failure on the lower three miles, great numbers of 
pike have been killed on the Phantom Minnow, and 
plenty were shot last week. The river would be well 
rid of the brutes. 
Blackwater (Co. Tyrone). —In consequence of the 
continued drought, angling has fallen to an extremely 
low ebb. I have only a record of one basket of four 
trout killed by a Glasgow gentleman, below Verner’s 
Bridge last Monday.—J. A. B. 
Ziong'hL Currane (Waterville, co. Kerry). — 
Sport has improved slightly. A few salmon have been 
had by Major Cresswell, M. Brennan, S. Huggard, and , 
J. Leary. Some good brown trout have been had I 
trolling. — F. J. Dennehy. 
Lough. Melvin and Bundrowes River. —Most of i 
the waters in this district are rather low, and but few I 
salmon anglers were out on Melvin last week. Still, ! 
considering everything, sport was fair. Mr. E. G. 1 
Bowden, on Tuesday, had one salmon, 111b.; Mr. W. | 
Mortimer, on Wednesday, one salmon, 101b. ; Mr. ■ 
J. H. Browne, on WednescJay, one salmon, 11.11b., and a I 
trout (Salmo ferox) of 51b.; Mr. E. G. Bowden, on j 
Wednesday, one salmon, 101b.; Mr. E. Felix, on Thnrs- j 
day, one salmon, lOJlb., and landed and returned three 
kelts; Mr. E. G. Bowden, on Friday, one salmon, 81b. ; ■ 
Mr. M. Cheaney, on Saturday, one salmon, 111b. Several j 
large trout {ferox) were taken during the week, amongst i 
them being fish of 6|lb., 51b., 4Jlb., 41b., and six over 
3Jlb. The Bundrowes is very low, and but three salmon 
were taken there last week. Eain is badly wanted.— 
M. Eogan Isons- 
Mourue (Newtonstewart, Tyrone).— The want j 
of rain is severely felt. On the 5th. Mr. Slater and 
Mr. Wood had light baskets of brown trout ; the follow- I 
ing day Mr. Slater killed 121b. trout; on Saturday Mr. 
Witherow and Mr. McClelland arrived at Abercorn | 
Arms, and had some sport the same evening. A great j 
many English anglers are waiting for favourable weather , 
to patroni.se Newtonstewart. At least twelve hours 
constant rain will be required to put the Mourne in ; 
form. — Stewartstown. ^ 
Moy and Lakes Ballina. —Since last report only 
five salmon were got by rods, viz., one by your oorres- j 
pondent, 131b., Capt. Jones had a fish iOilb.. Mr. M. I 
Eocbe two, 101b., 141b.; Mr. Pery one, 12ilb. Trout are 
rising slowly, owing to a north-east wind and bright 
sunshine. The best basket I have heard of in one day 
was got by the Eev. J. Thornton and Mr. Butter, 
twenty fish, some of the largest going 21b. A change of 
weather is apparent, and with some soft showers of rain, 
sport will improve with salmon and trout.— Frank 
Hearns. 
Shannon and Lough Derg (Killaloe).— 
Major Treherne has killed a really beautiful springer 
this week. He hooked the fish on the Bon-an-Voy beat, 
and had a grand bout out of it for twenty-five minutes, 
when it was gaffed by one of his attendants. It weighed 
351b. The Major also got a fish of 161b.; Mr. C. Lefroy 
landed two fish, 211b. and 101b. ; W. Ives had one of 
221b. Weather still bright and cold in the afternoon, 
which will account for my list of killed and wounded 
fish being so meagre. There is a good supply of fish 
up, but they won’t take freely until we get some rain.— 
S. J. Hurley. 
Shannon (Castle Connell). —Dry bright weather 
still continues. On Doonas, Mr. H. Hodges got—8th, 
one salmon, 111b.; Mr. W. H. Cripps on Newgarden— 
7th, one salmon, 251b. ; Mr. W. C. Jones on Hermitage 
—5th, one salmon, 271b. ; 6th. one salmon, 181b.; 8th, 
one salmon, 151b. ; Mr. G. C. Williams, on Woodlands— 
5th, one salmon, 181b. ; 7th, one salmon, 361b.— John 
Enright and Son. 
"Westmeath Lakes -Sport still hardly worth the 
seeking. East winds, bright, crisp weather, with nightly 
frosts. In any case, it is better it should be so now 
than in the Green Drake season. The “ fly ” is expected 
to be “ up ” early--English anglers, get ready. There 
are any number of trout, all sizes, in these lakes.— 
T. J. W. 
Holloway's Pills .—Dismiss your doubts, let no one be longer 
oppressed with the notion that his malady is incurable till these 
purifying Pills have had a fair trial. When ordinary prepara¬ 
tions have failed, these Pills have been used with the most marked 
success. A course of this admirable medicine clears the blood 
from all impurities, and improves its quality. The whole system 
is thus beneUted through the usual channels without reduction of 
strength, shock to the nerves, or any other inconvenience: In 
fact, health is renewed by natural means. For curing diseases of 
the throat, windpipe, and chest, these Pills have pre-eminently 
established a world-wide fame, and in complaints of the stomach, 
liver, and kidneys, they are equally efBcacious. They are com¬ 
posed of rare balsams, without a single grain of mercury or any 
other deleterious substance.

P.S.—The first clean run flsh of this season in the Tyne was taken by an angler using one of 
these rods and one of our flies. The flsh would have fallen to the lot of another equally good 
angler had he been possessed of a similar weapon. After seeing the superiority of “ Our Rods ’* he 
did not long delay a visit to our store to be similarly equipped. 
Another of our flies produced the &fico)id fiah for this season, and, as proof of the durability’and 
killing powers of our flies, may state that with this one fly fourteen flsh have been taken.
