m 



its way to the sea, where it discharges its 

 valuable waters at Berwick. 



The town of Kelso is the best station, as 

 there is good fishing above and below it. 

 There is a magnificent spot for a month or 

 more of salmon fishing at a place called " The 

 Throughs," three miles above the town, — it is 

 a real picture of a place to the eyes of the 

 fisher. Higher up is St. Boswell's, and a little 

 higher, Melrose — both charming places. There 

 is good angling in the Tiviot, at Kelso, in the 

 spring ; it runs into the Tweed on the oppo- 

 site side. The trout are numerous in it. There 

 are several capital stations below the town, 

 where the fish take the fly most freely, which 

 is not the case in most of the rivers of the 

 same magnitude. The fifteen painted salmon 

 flies will be found excellent killers in this noble 

 river, and the six large spring flies. 



I have killed Grilse, Sea-Trout, and Kiver- 

 Trout with the Winged Larva at the " Throughs" 

 in August. Easterly winds were prevailing at 

 the time, and the fish would not stir at any 

 other sort of fly. When the river runs very 

 low small flies are best.
