On Saturday last the Henley Fisheries Preservation Association placed in the Thames, near Henley Bridge, a splendid consignment of two-year-old trout (Salmo Fario). The fish, which numbered about 700, were strong and well grown, many measuring from nine inches to eleven inches in length.  They were reared by Colonel Custance, C.B., of Norwich. On the day following their introduction to fresh waters several were caught by roach anglers and duly returned to the river, and it is interesting to note that the distance between known points of capture of these handsome little fish was- in so short a period- nearly a mile.

Condition is Very Good.
