6 Scotch Loch-Fishing. 



himself, but he is much less likely to attract 

 notice if clad in dark - lined clothing. We 

 know of nothing better for a fishing rig -out 

 than a suit made from dark Harris tweed it 

 will almost last a lifetime, and is a warm and 

 comfortable wear. Thus you will need a dark 

 macintosh and leggings ; and a common sou'- 

 wester is, when needed, a very useful head- 

 gear. A pair of cloth-lined india-rubber gloves 

 will be found desirable in early spring, when 

 it is quite possible that the temperature may 

 be low enough for snow. A pair of stout 

 lacing boots, made with uppers reaching well 

 up the leg, will be found best, as they protect 

 the feet from getting damp when going into 

 or leaving a boat, even though one should need 

 to step into the water; and if your waterproof 

 coat is long, as it should be, the necessity of 

 wearing leggings on a wet day is obviated. 

 Lastly, by all means keep the body warm, and 

 remember that the more careful you are of 

 yourself, even at the risk of being thought 

 "old wifish," you will, humanly speaking, be 

 enabled to enjoy the sport to a greater age 

 than you might otherwise do.
