SOME FISHING RECORDS 113 



T\vo days after we let down the water I got 3 r 

 in the first loch, but for the next few days the 

 weather was bright and cairn, and not many fish 

 were got by any of us ; but on August 27, the rod 

 which fished the first loch got 36. Next day 1 got 

 =54. The rod on that beat the following day got 46, 

 and the next day I had it I got 45. The total take 

 of the three rods for the six last days of August was 

 333 salmon, and 71 sea-trout. All the fish were 

 fairly caught with fly. ^'e might have killed many 

 more if we had all fished in the first loch each day, 

 but we did not care to break through the rules as to 

 the division of the beats (under which the whole of 

 the first loch formed part of number i beat), con- 

 sequently only one of the three rods was among the 

 fish each day, the other two not getting many. 



The average weight of the fish caught in each of 

 these exceptional large takes was 6 11). 



The numbers and weights for the six days were as 

 follows :
