- A great many people go out fishing in this district. Some of them get them in Maudlin river and others get them in Headfort river and in the Blackwater. Mr. Crosby goes to Headfort every day and comes home with twelve salmon. Every night Patrick Flynn goes to Maudlin and comes home with ten pike. The people say that if a fisherman met a white dog while he was going out to fish he would have bad luck that day. Some parts of the river are free to fish on. On other parts you have to pay a license. The license costs ten shillings.
