SALMON RECORDS 



373 



MR. HARRIOTTE 



Mr. Dennistoun was the only one of the party 

 who had any experience in angling; all the others 

 were new hands. Mr. Havemeyer's score was 

 really an exceptionally good one for a beginner. 

 As will be noticed, the fishing began about ten 

 days at least later than it should have done, to 

 get the full benefit of the river, and when the 

 party left, fish were still abundant and taking the 

 fly well. The late Mr. Dennistoun, from whom I 

 got this record many years ago, was of the opin- 

 ion that five good rods could easily have scored 

 one thousand salmon that year by fishing through 

 the whole season.
