"Out of this lake there yearly passes up the river Routhey many very large trouts, and up the river Brathey great store of case, which are like char, but spawn at another season of the year. And although these two rivers do run a good way together in one channel before they disembogue into Windermere water, they are both very clear and bottomed alike, yet scarce ever any trouts are found in Brathey, or case in Rowthey. Some few salmon also, at the spawning season, come from the sea through the lake and up the river Rowthey, but none ever up the Brathey." |
