CHAPTER IV 



LONE LOCH WEE 



HERE is, in the " Sportsman and 



^ Tourist's Guide," an account of a 



certain loch, called Loch Howie 



or Wee, in which the reader is 



informed that the loch contains 



pike and trout, the latter few and shy, 



but of a large size, weighing from three 



to seven pounds each. 



For some time my brother and 

 I were rather hazy as to the where- 

 abouts of this delectable sheet of water. 

 We made several abortive attempts to find it, 

 which only resulted in our fishing other lochs, each 

 one of which at the time we imagined to be Loch 

 Wee. Our disappointment was proportionately great 

 when we caught fish of under half-a-pound in weight, 

 where we expected to see nothing of a smaller size 

 than three pounds.
