[The best, but a rare edition. In his 10th Idyll Ausonius celebrates the Moselle, and describes its fish and fishing. He mentions two species of fish-the Salar and the Fario, which are evidently the burn and salmon-trout of modern times; and, although he takes no notice of angling with a fly, he describes a scene of river-fishing with rod and a float in the language of poetry and truth. See "Mosella,' V. 240-265. Ausonius flourished about 317 A.D. The Mosella is also published in Wernsdorf's Poeta Latini Minores.
