SPORTS FOlt A ('[Cl

Asnat the course of this month all the varieties of fresh
water fish will take a bait in rivers, and if the weather be very :MU
at the htter end, the angler may expert that carp, tench, and perch,
will move and feed in ponds, and still waters that lie in warm situa-
tions. Gudgeons are now full of .pawn, and are decidedly the best
small fish the rivers afford for the talile at this season of the year ;
not a day, therefore, should be lost in angling for them when the
weather and water serve. In this month barbel P.ni bream begin to
get into the sharp water and on the scowers, and also to take a bait.
Eels are now fully recuvere,k front their torpid state, and will take
a brit freely both by day and night, and so will flounders; both fists
are also now in the best poosible state for the table. Not so, how-
ever, the delicious trout, which liai not yet fully recovered its fine
shape and beautiful colour., though fast getting rid of his winter
enemies, who have stuck close to his back for months together.
But if the angler will no longer refrain from trout-fishing, we trust
he will do it sparingly; for, in ttuth, nut of a hundred brace of
trout killed in the month of April, not two will be found in prime
condition.—Annolstf Spurting.
