ARNISDALE, CARNACH, GUSERAN, INVERlE ly; 



angling ; and, with any one of them in order, it is a treat to wander, 

 rod in hand, in soUtary happiness along th? beautiful banks. I 

 say solitary, because most anglers prefer to be alone and thrown 

 on their own resources on these occasions ; for even if, now and 

 then, two or three fish have to be carried home on one's own back, 

 the extra toils lend additional pleasure to such red-letter days. 

 These four streams are all strictly preserved for the use of their 

 owners and friends ; but, even if leave was freely granted, or if 

 they were open to the public, they are each of them so inaccessible 

 as to be nearly out of reach. A stout trout rod will fish them all, 

 and any of the small standard flies will kill — Jock Scot, Thunder 

 and Lightning, and silver bodies for choice ; sizes from No. 2 

 Limerick hooks to the very smallest.
