Trout is as plenty, and a small Fish the People call a little Trout, but of another Species, which is ex- ceedingly good, called in the North of England a Bran/in. These are so like the Salmon- Fry, that they are hardly to be distinguished ; LE-T1ER VI. 127 only the Scales come off the Fry in handling, the others have none. It is, by Law, no less than Transportation to take the Salmon-Fry ; but, in the Season, the River is so full of them that Nobody minds it, and those young Fish are so simple... the Children catch them with a crooked Pin. Yet the Townsmen are of Opinion that all such of them as are bred in the River, and are not devoured at Sea by larger Fish, return thither at the proper Season ; and as a Proof, they affirm they have taken many of them, and, by Way of Experiment, clipped their Tails into a forked Figure, like that of a Swallow, and found them with that Mark when full grown and taken out of the Cridves. Eels there are, and very good, but the In- habitants will not eat of them any more than they will of a Pike, for which Reason some of these last, in the standing Lakes, are grown to a monstrous Size ; and I do assure you, I have eaten of Trouts taken in those Waters each of fifteen or sixteen pounds Weight.
