with blue ! We put up our rods, selected flies 

 with care, extended at about fifty yards interval 

 between rods, and flogged the water for an hour 

 in the hottest of hot suns. Then some one 

 tasted the water it was nearly as salt as the 

 Dead Sea. We packed up, and tramped sadly 

 homeward along the dusty road. That was my 

 last experience of trout-fishing in Albania.
