miles, can be fished by visitors staying at the Luib 

 Hotel — a charming piece of water containing plenty 

 of excellent trout, which often furnish capital sport 

 in the months of April and May. Near the hotel 

 the river winds through flat meadow-lands, forming 

 many beautiful pools and "runs"; while above the 

 station, a mile higher up, it becomes more moor- 

 land and rocky, thus affording much pleasing variety. 



This roadside hotel at Luib, with a moor in 

 front, and fields behind sloping down to the river 

 near by, although small and unpretentious, is never-

 comfortable does Mrs. MacNaughton make her 

 guests. The landlord, Mr. MacNaughton, was for- 

 merly a deer-stalker in the Blackmount — a good 

 athlete, a fine rifle shot and salmon fisher, and a 

 man who attends well to his business. Having all 

 these attributes, you may be sure that he takes 

 a great interest in the fishing, and sees that the 

 river is well looked after — well stocked. He is, 

 too, a man of varied experiences. In the hotel 

 garden is kept a fine specimen of a golden eagle — 

 a good many still frequent the district — of whose 

 capture he gives a graphic account. 



A pair of eagles had built their eyrie that year
