23 8 Loch Leven Trout 



number of trout, but now fortunately these "pests" have been 

 destroyed, and during this year 1908 the number of trout caught 

 has far exceeded the catch of any previous year, for over 34,000 

 trout were caught with the rod, and with attention and care this 

 famous loch is capable of yielding even a much larger annual 

 catch than this. When we consider the large extent of the loch- 

 3400 acres we hardly think that it is too much to expect an average 

 of only a little more than nine trout to the acre, especially when 

 we have known a loch to produce fifty trout to the acre.
