viii FISHERMEN'S WEATHER 



weather and temperature, together with 

 some general statements of the best and 

 worst wind and other conditions tradi- 

 tionally associated with a number of well- 

 known rivers and lochs. In most cases, 

 deduction has been left to the reader, 

 who is thus free to exercise his own 

 ingenuity in determining why, as the 

 Jamaica niggers say : " Ebbry day good 

 for fishing, but not ebbry day good for 

 catch fish." 



It remains only to thank those who 

 have so kindly supplied the information 

 asked for. Of its soundness, the names in 

 the following list are sufficient guarantee.
