FISHING IN IRELAND [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,--AS

a very old Magistrate and Conservator, my experience was that in some places the R.I.C. did good work in enforcing the fishery laWs, in others they did very little. As to the size of fish in Lake Corrib, over twenty years ago I was staying at Ashford and saw a trout of 17 lbs. that had just been taken in the lake. We had a bit of him at dinner ; the flesh was as red as a salmon's. I should like to say that I hear the Civic Guards are doing very well indeed in enforcing Fishery Laws.—
