SOME HEAVY BASKETS AND BIG FISH 119 



' Mr. John White, manager of the Loch Leven 

 fishings, has given me a list of the best baskets made 

 on Loch Leven during the last ten years. 



' Underneath I give some of the best of them, only 

 the " takes " given do not represent individual, but 

 boat catches. 1 



'In 1887 there were 12 baskets ranging from 35 to 

 50 Ibs. ; the trout averaging over i Ib. each. The 

 best were : 



1887. April 21, 48 trout weighing together 56 Ibs. 

 29, 41 50 Ibs. 

 July 28, 46 47 Ibs. 



1888. June 2, 53 ,, 49 Ibs. 8 oz. 



7,60 56 Ibs. 8 oz. 



7,70 5 3 Ibs. 1 2 oz. 



July 13, 56 57 Ibs. 



'On June 2, fishing in the Kinross competition, 

 Mr. Malloch of Perth killed 52 trout of 44 Ibs. 6 oz. 

 weight. 



1889. Aug. 12,30 trout weighing together 44 Ibs. 6 oz. 

 16, 45 38 Ibs. 6 oz. 



1890. May 1 6, 65 47 Ibs. 8 oz. 

 M 5 34 Ihs. 



1891. May 24, 5^ 40 Ibs.

1892. May 25, 54 43 Ibs. 8 oz.
