152 ANGLERS' EVENINGS. 



is to be seen shortly after leaving Inchnadamph on the 

 way to Loch Inver. 



Loch Inver is thirteen miles distant from Inchna- 

 damph. It is beautifully situated at the head of the bay 

 of that name where the Inver joins the sea. The road 

 runs by the shores of Loch Assynt for nine miles, and 

 for the remainder of the distance along the Inver. The 

 scenery throughout this route is magnificent. The hotel 

 is large and commodious. I am informed by Mr, Mclver 

 that the Inver is at present let with the contiguous 

 shootings to Mr.Whitbread, M.P. ; but that Mr. Whitbread 

 often sub-lets the lower half of the river to the hotel 

 keeper, who lets two rods on it at ten shillings each per 

 day to parties residing at his house. It is a late river, 

 but in a wet season affords excellent angling in June and 

 July. 



To enumerate the lochs in this neighbourhood would 

 be almost an endless task. Some conception may be 

 formed of their number when it is stated that, within a 

 circle of four miles radius measured from the village of 

 Loch Inver, upwards of fifty lochs are to be found, almost 

 all abounding in trout and free to the public. Reference 

 to the map will shew how the whole country between the 

 northern sea-board of Assynt and Loch Inver, a distance 

 of about eight miles in a straight line, is literally honey- 

 combed with lochs, on many of which a fly has probably 

 never been cast. Those best known and usually fished 

 here are Lochs Fawn, Beannoch, Clashmore, the Break 

 or Trout Lochs, Crokach, Roe (connected with the Break 

 Lochs and frequented by sea-trout), Loch-na-Break, in
