THE BIG AND LITTLE GRUINARD 209 



August, and September are the best months on each. Hardly any 

 wading is necessary, though now and again stockings wiU be 

 found usefuL 



The Dundonnell or Strathbeg is a few miles to the north of the 

 Big Gruinard, and falls into the head of Little Loch Broom, a long, 

 narrow arm of the sea. It has but a run of twelve miles, and with 

 no loch to form a reservoir it is entirely dependent on rain. The 

 angling, which goes with the Dundonnell shootings, is strictly 

 preserved. August and September are the best months, and though 

 formerly it was a noted stream for its size, it has shared in the 

 deterioration which has fallen on all the West Coast streams.
