The stream is in liigli repute among scientific anglers, 

 both for salmon and trout. 



When the angler is in this district, it will save 

 him time and labour to turn to the west corner of 

 the county, and visit the singular group of lakes in 

 this neighbourhood, all within a circle of perhaps 

 thirty miles. These isolated and independent sheets 

 of water amount to upwards of two hundred in 

 number, varying in extent from one to fourteen 

 miles each. One of the most interesting is Loch 

 Assint, seven miles long, and embellished with the 

 most romantic and beautiful scenery. The lake is 

 full of very large and rich trout, as well as of salmon, 

 and the salmo ferox. This is a favourite trolling 

 locality, and very heavy fish are taken by this mode 

 with the assistance of a boat. But fine baskets of 

 red trout can be readily obtained by fishing the 

 edges of the lake, without any sailing aid whatever. 

 This loch receives the waters of the rivers Loanan 

 and Traligill, with those of some smaller burns. 

 There is capital fishing in all these tributary waters. 

 The river Inver fiows out of Loch Assint, runs a 

 distance of five miles, and then falls into Loch 

 Invers. There is splendid rod-fishing here for both 

 salmon and trout, the latter being of considerable 

 size and of delicious flavour. The Kirkaig is a short 

 stream, but full of fish. 



Crossing the country from the vicinity of Loch 

 Errard to Loch Ardvar, the angler will pass through 

 among the most interesting of these numerous sheets 

 of water. He may pass a whole week in this district
