TRIBUTARIES OF THE TWEED. 215 



Tweed is free to trout anglers from its head 

 down to the Pavilion property near Galashiels. 

 From Pavilion to Kelso " notice to trespassers " 

 is the rule, and the exceptions, we are sorry to say, 

 are few and painfully far between. On the Pavilion 

 water, we believe, anglers are now seldom, if at all, 

 stopped, more especially about Melrose ; but from 

 Leader-foot to Kelso, about eleven miles, there are not 

 more than two places open, and these small. From 

 Kelso to Carham, six miles, trouting is unrestricted. 

 Carham (about a mile) is preserved, but from Wark 

 to Tweedmouth the river is free. 



Beginning at the upper part of the Tweed, the 

 first noteworthy stream though there are many very 

 good burns- is 



The TALA a small water. Fishing good. Ang- 

 ling free. 



BIGGAR a small water. Fishing middling ; trout 

 good. The Tweed itself between Biggar Water foot 

 and the Lyne yields very good sport. Angling free. 



LYNE, enters the Tweed three miles or so above 

 Peebles. The angling is good, and trout pretty 

 numerous. A mile or two from its mouth the Lyne 

 is joined by the Tarth, which also yields good sport ; 

 and all ordinary lures may be used in both streams. 

 Angling free.
