About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908. Excerpt: ... THE NORTH MIDLANDS THE DERWENT AND WYE OONER or later most south-country trout fishermen findtheirway to the Dove and Wye, two of the clearest rivers of England, and both containing highly sagacious trout. A less " difficult" river is the Derwent, especially in its moorland reaches, while the Little Manifold affords very enjoyable fly-fishing. Among the Derbyshire streams there are none better than the Lathkill and its tributary the Bradford, from whose dams I have taken many fine trout with the dry fly. But the Lathkill is strictly preserved by the Duke of Rutland, one of our most ardent fly-fishers, who also owns the greater part of the Bradford. The rivers of the North Midlands are mostly dry-fly waters. In Izaak Walton's day, no doubt, the sunk fly procured many a fine basket of trout for the master and his disciples; but even then the trout of the Dove were wary, as we may judge from Walton and Cotton's repeated counsel to fish with fine casts, and to avoid a too near approach to the water's edge. 1 am not asserting that the wet fly is never used in the North Midlands. Two of the oldest anglers on the Dove fish in the old style; and in the Derwent, as well as in the limpid Wye, I have had sport with the wet fly early in the season. But, speaking generally, the floating fly is the best lure upon these crystal streams. The trout of these waters are of a larger average size than those of the North Wales, the Dartmoor streams, and moorland rivers generally. Fish of a pound are by no means uncommon in the Derwent and its tributaries, and at Matlock and Cromford trout of a much heavier weight are frequently taken with fly and bait. Grayling breed plentifully in the Derwent, Dove, Wye, and Manifold. In Derbyshire and Staffordshire there are many miles of ava...
