LOCH OR LAKE FISHING. IOQ

 open. It is also desirable in stormy 

 weather to coax the fish to the windward, 

 otherwise the boat is almost certain to 

 drift over the line and foul the flies. 



LOCH TROUT IN SHOALS. 



In many of our lochs trout travel in 

 shoals, so it is thus a wise policy to 

 exhaust the immediate neighbourhood of 

 rising fish in preference to moving about 

 for better sport: a practice too frequently 

 followed by beginners, which often ends 

 with the result of missing "the take" 

 when it is on. 



In fishing a loch when sport proves 

 " dead off," the ordinary method of drifting 

 must not be too strictly adhered to, and 

 the angler should leave no method untried. 

 Trolling with fly sometimes works fairly 

 well, but in this method it is advisable to 

 use a larger-sized fly and a little stouter 

 gut to meet the extra strain.
