A Good Trout Season at Reading.- Mr. Fredk. 
Brown, the hon. secretary of the Reading and District 
Angling Association, writes that his committee “are 
desirous of compiling yearly a list of the trout caught 
in the district under their protection. Up to the present 
I have been made acquainted with the capture of many 
fish during the present season, but being sure the record 
is by no means complete, I hope any of your readers who 
have caught trout this season in the district—from 
Goring to Shiplake—will kindly favour me with particu¬ 
lars of same as soon as possible. The success of our 
work in the direction of stocking operations is proved 
hy the great number of trout under the legal size—16in. 
in length—which have been taken and returned to the 
water, and even still more hy the immense number of 
yearling and two-year-old trout (evidently bred in the 
district) which are to be seen on the shallows.’’ It is 
remarkable that none of the numerous very large trout 
which have been “ marked down ’’ this season at Reading 
have come to the net. Probably some of them will fall f o 
the barbel-fishers. All kinds of fish appear to be plentiful 
in this well-stocked and protected section of the river, 
and especially so in the immediate neighbourhood of the 
town. One gentleman, fishing with “rush,” the other 
day, landed no less than nine undersized trout in a few 
hours, at one spot, all duly returned. 
Holloways Pslls .— Weary of Life.—Derangement of the liver is 
one of the most efficient causes of dangerous diseases and the 
most prolific of those melancholy forebodings which are worse 
than death itself. A few doses of these noted Pills act magically 
in dispelling low spirits and repelling the eovert attacks made on 
the nerves by excessive heat, impure atmospheres, over-indulgence 
or exhausting excitement. The most shattered constitution may 
derive benefit from Holloway’s Pills, which will regulate dis¬ 
ordered action, brace the nerves, increase the energy of the 
intellectual faculties, and revive the failing memory. By 
attentively studying the instructions for taking these Pills, and 
obeaieutly putting them in practice, the most despondent will 
soon feel confident of a perfect recovery.

English and Welsh Reports. 
Lower Thames.— General Remarks. — I have 
frequently, in my remarks on private fishing, urged 
upon the anglers to be careful in not leaving gates 
open, and otherwise damaging the property, as being 
calculated to put a compete stoppage to permission 
being given. During my recent visit into Lincolnshire 
my attention was called to the following: “Notice to 
anglers.—Owing to so many complaints as to damage 
done to hedges, and gates left open. Sir John Henry 
Thorold, Bart, finds he is obliged to withdraw all leave 
for fishing in that part of the River Witham flowing 
through his estate. No fishing tickets will therefore be 
issued this year. The Estate Office, Syston Park, 
June, 1893.” It is probable this evil has been done 
by the few, and with the result, which is a source of 
regret to the anglers of Grantham, the angling there 
has been completely stopped. At the end of last 
week I received a letter from Mr. C. H. Wheeley, 
too late for publication, in which he referred to the 
capture of another trout, making his fifth this season. 
He thus described the fish: “I got another trout last 
night at the Tumbling Bay, Shepperton, a fine grown 
31b. fish, brilliant yellow, with red spots. Don’t know 
where he comes from; not a Thames fish at all. These 
yellow fish give wonderful play, and before this year 
had not taken one of this colour ; this year have had a 
brace of them.” In the Fishing Gazette of last week I 
reported a trout of 2Jlb., taken by Mr. James Clapp in 
the neighbourhood also of Shepperton. It was there 
described as not a Thames trout. It had a greenish 
back, with yellow down the belly, and red spots down 
the side. It would almost appear this fish was of the 
same species as the two taken by Mr. Wheeley. I have 
received this week .£1 8s. from the collecting box [of 
the Walham Green and Chelsea Angling Club. There 
is also <£1 Is. 8d. forthcoming fromtue Serapis Angling 
Society, and I have to open the collecting box of the 
Clapham Junction Angling Club on Thursday night. 
The London angling clubs are moving in the right 
direction, and I am very glad of it.—B. 
Upper Thames.— Thursday Evening. —The long- 
continued drought has an evil effect on the river as well 
as on the land, and, as I write, the reaches of the Upper 
Thames are sadly in need of a refreshing washing out. 
Since the opening of the season on the Ifith nit. I have 
heard of very little success amid the small fry—indeed, 
few punts seem to have been out, and bank anglers have 
only been conspicuous by their absence. I am more than 
pleased to note that “the poetry of fishing,”viz., fly 
work, is on the increase, one gentleman yesterday in the 
Marlow district bagging some 301b. of chub in this 
pretty fashion. Weather dry and hot, the river stale 
and bright, and angling consequently none too successful. 
—Marlow Buzz. 
Thames (Chertsey).— Mr. Hiscock, of Hounslow, 
and friend, fishing with John Ponlter, in one day got 
six bream,'five chub, a jack of 41b., and four dozen of 
roach and dace; and another day Mr. C. Wastell, with 
the same fisherman, six dozen of roach and dace. 
Thames (Hampton Court). —John Smith, in one 
day, eighteen barbel and seven chub, and William Mil- 
bourne, in one day, five jack from 31b. to 41b. each. There 
has not been much doing as the water is very low and 
br^ht. 
Thames (Kingston). —John Knight, a jack of 41b., 
one barbel, and a tew chub ; John Johnson, three barbel, 
two brace of jack, and a few roach and dace ; N. Bolton 
one barbel and a few roach and dace ; from the banks.
