ANGLING re THR Tawmts.—The fishing season
was inaugurated on Saturday last, but the fish are loudly
yet in condition for sport. The most noticeable take was
one of six dozen at Twickenham. Some very good jack
and perch were taken by different people, and also some
chub and barbel. The Lite rain has made the water very
thick, and it is rising in the upper part of the river. A
nice trout of 41bs. has been taken at Mouhey, and
on Wednesday a very fine trout was taken off Mr.
Horne 's garden, at Staines-bridge, weighing over
101bs. It was taken with a live bait. Another trout
of Bulbs. was taken at Eton-bridge, a few Jaya pre-
viously ; it measured inches long, 1Z inches in
girth, and was in splendid condition. As an evidence of
the interest taken in the return of salmon into the Thames
au incident may be mentioned that occurred at Moulsey
last week. A man fishing with • fly taught what he con-
sidered a small parr. The report soon spread, and numbers
flocked to see this real live specimen of " • young salmon."
The man, in extacies with his luck, sent over to Mr.
Ponder; hut a moment's examination proved it to be •
small trout about 6 inches long, and a pretty looking fish.
But the most important is the following statement made
by a good judge, and one not likely to be mistaken, to
• member of the Committee of the Thames Angling
Preservation Society, whilst fishing at Sunbury, on the
Derby day : " People will laugh at me, but I'll swear I
saw a salmon within five yards of me, trying to get over
the stones. I saw him several Sinn, and I am positive
that it was • salmon," Mr. W. H. Brougham, the inde-
fatigable secretary to the Thames Angling Preservation
Society, has just issued notion as to the weights and sizes
of fish that are allowed to be taken. They are trout not
under • pound ; pike, jack, or barbel not under 19 inches ;
chub, ii inches ; perch or roach, 8 inches ; floundets, 7
inches ; dace or smelts, 6 inches ; gudgeon, 5 inches ; in
each case measuring from the eye to the end of the tail.
There is a penalty of Si. for every offence.— Wag Surrey
