Poiet. --This is a glorious scene ! And the fall of this great and clear river, with its accompaniments of wood, rock, and snow-clad mountain, would alone furnish matter for discussion and conversation for many days. This place is quite the paradise of a poetical angler; the only danger is that of satiety with regard to sport; for these great grayling and trout are so little used to the artificial fly, that they take almost any thing moving on the top of the water. You see I have put on a salmon fly, and still they rise at it, though they never can have seen any thing like it before -- and it is, in fact, not like any thing in nature. s Hal.--You are right, they never have seen any thing like it before; but, in its motion, it is like a large fly, and this is the season for large flies. The stone fly and the May fly, you see, occasionally drop upon the water, and the colour of your large fly is not unlike that of the stone fly; but if, instead of being here in the beginning of July, you had visited this spot, as I once did, in the beginning of June, you would have found more difficulty in catching grayling here, though not so much as in our English rivers -- in the Test, the Derwent, or the Dove. Poiet. -- How could this be ? Hal. -- At this season the large flies had not yet appeared; the small blue dun was on the water, and I was obliged to use a fly the same as that which suits our spring and late autumnal fishing. The fish refused all large flies, but took greedily small ones; and, as usually happens when small flies are used, more fish escaped after being hooked than were taken; and these I found, the next...

You will soon take your leave, gentlemen, of this agreeable villa, but we must catch at least two brace of trout, to carry with us to London as a present for two worthy patrons of the angle. For though I know our liberal host will have a basket of fish packed up for each of our party, yet fish taken this'morning will be imagined a more acceptable present than those caught yesterday. The May-fly is already upon the water, though not in great quantity, and it will consequently be more easy to catch the fish, which I see are rising with great activity. I advise you to go to the deep water below, where you will find the largest fish, and I will soon follow you. Poiet. ?I hope I shall catch a large fish, ? a companion to that which Ornither took yesterday with a natural fly. [Halieus leaves them Jishing, and returns to the house, but soon comes back and joins his companions, whom he Jinds Jishing below in the river.'] Hal.? Well, gentlemen, what sport? Poiet. ? The fish are rising every where; but though we have been throwing. over them with all our skill for a quarter of an hour, yet not a single one will take, and I am afraid we shall return to breakfast without our prey. Hal. ? I will try; but I shall go to the other side, where I see a very large fish rising. There ! ? I have him at the very first throw. Land this fish, and put him into the well. Now I have another; and I have no doubt I could take half a dozen in this very place, where you have been so long fishing without success. Phys.?You must have a different fly; or have you some unguent or charm to tempt the fish? Hal.?No such thing. If any of you will give me your rod and fly, I will answer for it I shall have the same success. I ...<
