HOW TO MAKE TROUT-FISHING 



Utopian project ; but it has been borne in upon the writer, 

 through personal experience of constantly increasing intensity, 

 that it is no longer possible — in the north, at least — to resist 

 the pressure of the growing number of anglers, and that if 

 a private owner is to reserve any fishing for the exclusive 

 recreation of himself and his friends, he must adopt some 

 expedient for satisfying the demand from outside. We see 

 on a large scale on Loch Leven what may be effected by a 

 judicious scheme of management, and there seems no serious 

 obstacle, except a moderate expenditure of capital, to attain- 

 ing similar results on a smaller scale.
