THAMES TROUT PLENTIFUL.—There never was
known to be so many Thames trout taken as have been
taken during the last fortnight. From every part of the
society's waters the glad tidings of "a fine trout yesterday,"
or " tl,vo fine ones the day before," &c., come to us. It can-
not be doubted that the operations of the society are gradu •
ally being crowned with success. Many of the members of
the society have taken large fish. The worthy secretary,
Mr. li. Parnell, fell foul of a Si-pounder at Walton; Mr.
Lyons got a 101 b. fish at Teddington ; numerous fish of
from 101 b. to 131 b. have been reported as bagged ; and even
we have done our little possible towards the general total.
The size of the fish is also very remarkable. Never before
were so many "big ones" taken thus early in the season.
We are sorry to say, though, that, from all we have heard,
the m jority of them have not been in that splendid form
and condition in which it is desirable to see such fish. In-
deed, as a general rule, very largo cannot be expected to
be in a fair condition before June. Some fine grayling
were placed in the waters at Ilalltford last week ; and large
numbers of the small trout have also been carefully distri-
buted up and down the water in various shallow eddies.
