wall. With other Shetland lochs, where 

 the land around is high, sunshine at 

 the angler's back is always fatal." 

 (J. S. T.) 



"For fly-fishing, sunshine should be 

 pale and fitful." (W. M. G.) 



" For practically all fish other than 

 grayling, carp, bream, tench, and perch, I 

 like April weather, sun chasing clouds, 

 clouds compelling sun." (H. T. S.) 



On some waters, however, it seems that 

 sunshine is generally, if not invariably, 

 fatal to sport, particularly if combined 

 with some other condition of wind or 

 cloud. The following are cases : 



For spring salmon in Scotland generally Rivers on 

 when combined with east wind (C- E. D.), shine is U fatai. 

 for salmon-fishing in the Tay (W. O. D.), 

 and, with white fleecy clouds, for the 

 Aberdeenshire Dee (R. T. C.). Between 

 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. it is considered, except 

 in rough and broken water, fatal to sport 

 in the streams and smaller rivers of BamT- 

 shire (J. C.), and scarcely more hopeful, 

 even with a good breeze, for lake-fishing
