SCOTTISH RIVERS. 317 



review that Blackwood's Magazine, or indeed the entire 

 English press ever produced) and Sir William Jardine 

 of Edinburgh have been known to kill trout of this 

 description, in several lochs a short distance from Glasgow, 

 full twelve pounds in weight. They were as red and as 

 rich as the finest salmon ; and exhibited truly magnificent 

 proofs of the skill of these accomplished anglers. 



In Loch Aire, as well as in some other lakes, fine 

 large bull trout have been occasionally caught, of the 

 enormous weight of full fifty pounds. These fish, as 

 well as the bourne trout, must be angled for with a small 

 trout, large minnow, or big gudgeon; and very strong 

 tackle, combined with great skill, patience and perse- 

 verance, is indispensably necessary. 



A list of these lochs is subjoined to this brief notice of 

 Scotland; and all that is further necessary to be observed 

 is, that the angler can scarcely make an unsuccessful, or a 

 fruitless choice. These waters are all so abundantly sup- 

 plied with fish, that convenience or fancy may safely 

 guide his judgment in making a selection.
