14° THE SALMON RIVERS OF SCOTLAXD 



The gardener at Kilninver, who knows the loch well, told us 

 the best flies for it were " claret and mallard," " browTi and 

 mallard," and "green and teal." We tried them, together with 

 some fifty other patterns, with the result already described. 



There is no doubt that the angling of both the Euchar and 

 Loch Scammadale is ruined by the hard netting in Loch Feochan 

 during the fishing season, and by poaching by scringers after it has 

 ended. 



^ Here are the rod catches made from the shooting-lodge of 

 Kilninver on this pretty little river : — 



Salmon .... 

 Sea Trout 

 Brown Trout . 



The tenant of Ardmaddy Castle also has the right of fishing on 

 part of the river on two days a week. It is about a seven-mile 

 drive, and often the river is too high or too low on the Ardmaddy 

 days ; but whatever may be the cause, the Ardmaddy rods get 

 very httle.
