SALMON CASTS IN THE TWEED. 189 



Thanks are herewith offered to the proprietors 

 and friends who so courteously corrected the casts 

 sent them for that purpose. 



Salmon are occasionally taken with fly as high 

 up as Biggar Water Foot ; but hitherto poaching 

 has been carried on so extensively in these higher 

 waters, that the angler had seldom a chance of 

 hooking a salmon unless immediately after a flood ; 

 but the better system of watching put into execu- 

 tion at the commencement of the close-time in 1862 

 may tend to improve the sport of the rodsman. Be- 

 ginning about three miles above Peebles the casts 

 come in order as follows: 



The Inch. In the middle of this pool there is a 

 small island. 



Barris Pool. 



Brown Knowe Goat. 



Long, or Mid Pool. 



The Wickers. 



Eddstone Heuch. 



Manor Foot. 



The land on the south side of these casts belongs to Barns 

 and the Earl of Wemyss, and the north side, with the ex- 

 ception of a small haugh, also belongs to the Earl of 

 Wemyss.
