3§ THE SALMON RIVERS OF SCOTLAND 



Beat Xo. 4 

 {From lower end of Buddie Wood Pool to Killearnan Dyke) 



Baddan Pool ; here, in 1895, Mr. Macfarlan had fourteen fish 

 in three hours. Stoney Point Pool ; Dalhalmy Bridge Pool ; Kelt's 

 Den Pool ; Dalhalmy Pool ; Black Hole Pool ; Killearnan Dyke 

 Pool. 



A very good beat during the latter part of March and first half 

 of April. When the weather is cold, fish do not ascend much above 

 the top of this until early m March. In milder weather they pass 

 up much earlier. 



Beat No. 5 



[From the Boat Pool to Kildonan Dyke) 



Killearnan Boat Pool ; in 1895 eighteen fish were landed here 

 in a day by Mr. Wood. Ewe's Neuk Pool ; Foam Pool ; Deible 

 Pool — from this Colonel Hargreaves got seven one day, and Mr. 

 Gardiner MuLr a like number on another day. Short Pool ; \^'hinney 

 Pool ; Kildonan Dyke Pool, a good beat in March and April. 



Beat No. 6 

 [From the Manse to Kildonan Bridge) 



The Manse Pool, one of the best ; and on this pool the late 

 Mr. Rutherford, an old Helm angler, once saw six rods each with a 

 fish on ; also from this and the two Rock Pools, Mr. Ashworth 

 landed sixteen fish one day, Mr. A. K. Dawson had a day of fourteen, 

 and Mr. C. Ackroyd one of sixteen. The Little Rock Pool ; the 

 New Little Rock Pool ; the Big Rock Pool ; the Flat Pool ; the 

 Fall Pool ; the Rock Pool— here the late Mr. H. E. M. Davies had 

 a day of eight ; the Bridge Pool. 



As soon as the fish reach this beat it becomes perhaps the 

 pick of the lot ; for, in addition to being an excellent grilse beat, 

 it is also not quite so dependent on rain as some of the others, there 

 being many rapid rocky runs in it from which fish may be taken even 

 in quite low water. 



Upper Beat No. i 



[From Kildonan Bridge to end of Siiisgill Parapet. Above the bridge 

 are a few fine streams) 



Rock Pool ; Bathing Pool ; Pool in the Wood, the best on the 

 beat ; above the wood a few streams.
