good ; they run from one-third of a Ib. up to two and three Ibs. 

 weight ; they take to the minnow and fly freely ; flies, nearly the 

 same as those used on Lochard, but larger. The fish are very fine 

 yellow fellows, red in the flesh, and well flavoured. June and July 

 are the best months. Boats rather expensive, to be had by apply- 

 ing at McGregor's Hotel. 



LOCHS ACHRAY AND VENNACHER. The Trout in these lakes 

 grow to a large size. They do not rise well at the fly in Loch Ven- 

 nacher, preferring the minnow. Salmon frequent both these lakes. 

 Large pike are often taken. Boats to be had, for Loch Vennacher, 

 by applying at McGregor's Hotel, Callander, or Mclntyre's Hotel, 

 Bridge of Turk ; and for Loch Achray, from McGregor's Hotel, 

 Trossachs. About two miles south of Achray is Drunkie, an ex- 

 cellent Loch, containing abundance of fine bright trout, from Jib. 

 to 1 Jib. The scenery of the Trossachs, so well described in the 

 " Lady of the Lake," needs no comment. 



THE TUMMEL (Salmon and Trout). About a mile may be 

 fished by staying at the hotel (Mr. Fisher's) at Pitlochrie ; best 

 t>me towards the end of May, according to season. Route : rail 

 to Perth, coach to Pitlochrie. Fishing fair. The angler, if lucky, 

 may get his fish a day. 



THE TRUIM, AND LOCH ERICHT, we understand may be fished 

 by stopping at the inn at Dalwhinnie. The trout, taken with the 

 fly, run about four or five to the Ib., but large trout are taken 

 spinning, of from 41bs. to 181bs. weight. The Truim is good till 

 April and May, when the loch comes in. Plenty of small hill 

 lochs. Quarters comfortable, and fine scenery. Rail to Perth, 

 and thence by car, via Blair- Athol. 



LOCH RANNOCH (Good Trout fishing). By stopping at the 

 inn at Tighnalin, and making application to Struan Robertson and 

 Lady Menzies. From Perth by coach, via Aberfeldy. 



LOCH AWE (Trout). By staying at the inn at Dalmally. 

 Rail to Glasgow, and steamer via Loch Lommond. Good troll- 

 ing for the salmo ferox and other trout 



ST. MARY'S LOCH AND THE YARROW (Trout), Selkirkshire. 

 By stopping at Tibby Shiel's. Good stream and burn fishing 

 also in the neighbourhood ; but pike have increased of late years 

 in the loch, where the trout fishing is hardly so good as formerly in 

 consequence. For flies to suit, send to Lang's, Hanover- street, 

 Edinburgh. Rout: rail via Carlisle, to Moffat, thence fifteen 

 miles by gig to Yarrow. Pleasant scenery, and comfortable but 

 homely quarters. Good perch fishing on the adjoining loch (the 

 loch of the Lowes). N.B. The angler must take all wines and 

 spirits with him, as the house is not licensed. From here the 

 angler can cut across to the Crook Inn, below Tweedsmuir, where, 

 if the season be favourable, he will get good trout fishing in the 

 Tweed and several smaller streams in the neighbourhood.
