THE SALMON Fisunniats.—The salmon season is
now drawing to a close, and altogether has been the most
successful that has bees experienced in the Severn and W7O
—two of the most important salmon streams in England—
for a great many years. Not only has the take of fish been
greater, but the fish have been unusually fine. Fish from 201 b.
to 301 b. in weight have been quitecom mon, while several have
been taken in the Severn 401 b. in weight, and one recently
521 b. The taking of such large fish is one of the most sig. 1
nificaut signs of improvement in the management of the
fisheries. The act of 1861, for the improvement of salmon
fisheries, and protection of the fish when in a breeding con-
dition, bee, no doubt, had a salutary effect. The putt sod
patcher fisheries in the lower part of the Severn and Wye,
and in the estuary between the mouths of the Wye and
Avon and Newport, are found so difficult of management
in consequence of the neorarity of dosing them from Satur-
day at noon to Monday morning, that it is likely they will
be abandoned for net fishing. This will be a great boon to
the fishermen io the upper portions of the rivers, who OM-
plain that the putts and putchers take more than a fair toll
of the fish. The executive of the local protection moods-
lions have strictly watched these fisheries, and in all CAWS
where the weekly fence time has been disregarded have pro-
secuted the offenders. Informations against several fisher.
men for offences of this clams were laid yesterday, sod the
eases will be beard before the local magistrates next week.
It must be taken se a proof of the increase of the fish that
• shoal of grampuses have lately appeared in the Bristol
Channel in pursuit of the salmon. One of these has been
captured as high as within three miles of edouci 'ter, and he
bad no doubt pursued the salmon up the river so far, no
less than 45 salmon having been taken in one draught near
the spot where the grampus was motored. This fish WY 16
feet long and about 12 feet round the thickest part.
