318 THE SALMON RIVERS OF SCOTLAND 



It will be noted that the period 1886-1 890, in which the great 

 week already referred to was made, seems to have been a 

 prolific one in the matter of fish. The figures are : 



Salmon. 



741 



714 



969 

 1081 

 1112 



764 



688 



961 



Sea Trout. 

 1351 

 1499 

 1750 

 1306 



856 

 1742

This fishing is now in Lord Leverhulme's hands. 

 An earlier record from all the principal fishings in Lews was 

 published in The Fourth Annual Report of the Fishery Board for 

 Scotland (for 1885), p. 282. I give the list without Barvas and 

 Uig, as their figures are insignificant. The blanks are either 

 because the shootings and fishings were unlet or because no 

 record was kept. The Grimersta record is, however, complete 

 since 1871. The best period seems to have been between 

 1886-1890.
