ii8 THE TROUT 



kind of bait and tackle she killed another trout of 

 8i Ibs. 



Mr. Anderson writes further that ' Beside the 

 fish I have mentioned, I have known of numbers of 

 others taken in these lochs of 20 Ibs., 17, 15, 14, 

 13, 10, and 8 Ibs. Perhaps other large lakes would 

 yield as good results if they were as systemetically 

 fished. The late Sir Everett Millais informed me 

 that on Loch Ness he had killed, amongst other large 

 trout, one of 14 Ibs. Another gentleman in a month's 

 trolling there, caught, in addition to other trout, thirty 

 that weighed from 5 to 10 Ibs. each. 



' My brother and I, in a small loch in Perthshire, 

 in June 1875, killed in one day, 93 trout that weighed 

 65 Ibs. In the same loch a friend of mine and I 

 killed 114 trout of 73 Ibs. total weight. 



' On the Murthly water of the Tay, I killed one 

 day at the beginning of June 1868, fishing with the 

 fly between the hours of 1 1 A.M. and 5 P.M., over 

 50 Ibs. weight of trout. I took home and weighed 53 

 trout, which together came to 46 Ibs., and gave away 

 six which must have scaled fully 4 Ibs. The two largest 

 fish were respectively 3 and 3^ Ibs. On another oc- 

 casion, in May 1871, when fishing the Kinnoul 

 water in the Tay, my brother and I killed 43 trout 

 weighing 45 \ Ibs.
