344 Fishing Localities. Chapt. xxiv. 



Afghanistan. 



K a i- r a hi. — There is Mahseer fishing in the Kurrum Valley. 

 W. T. F. ("Asian," 25th Nov., 1879), took them up to 5 lbs., knew 

 others who had killed them up to 10 lbs. and 12 lbs., and does not 

 think they run over 15 lbs. there. He considers the river to be full 

 of fish. It is easily commanded by an 18-ft. rod. He killed with 

 gilt spoon and black fly, and had other flies carried away. The 

 fishing stops as soon as the snow begins to melt on Safaid Koh, 

 about March. 



1)., in the " Field " of 26th June, 1880, gives a long de- 

 scription of fishing in this valley. 



The following from a friendly fisherman, the killer of the huge 

 freshwater shark, has reached me too late to be compared with the 

 manuscript and put in its proper place. I can only throw it in at 

 the end of this chapter in the hope that it may prove useful to 

 some.
