OF FOG AND MIST 233 



" which arise from rivers during the 

 summer after sunset, often cause a 

 sudden cessation of an evening rise of 

 trout." 



Nor is a condition of fog any better, 

 in the opinion of many experienced 

 fishermen, for salmon or sea-trout The 

 following extracts from letters will serve 

 to illustrate how general this opinion 

 is: 



"Mist on the top of the high hills is 

 almost invariably bad for sea-trout and 

 salmon in the Western Highlands." (J. B.) 



" Evening fog generally puts an end to in fishing 



Tsr , . i for salmon 



an evening rise. Where mist is low orsea -trout. 

 down on the hills, salmon rarely take 

 well." (G. A. D.) 



" If a sea-fog is coming on, fish will 

 never rise and very seldom, if ever, show. 

 I have been out on the loveliest fishing 

 morning, when one expected great things 

 . . . and seen nothing. This was in- 

 explicable till the approach of a wall 

 of sea- fog in the afternoon solved the 

 mystery." (J. E.-M.)
