CHAPTER IX. 
Ember-cooking Fish—Fishing in Glen Garry—Big Salmo 
Jerox—A Fisher-dog. 
HERE is a way of dressing fish, which may be 
resorted to by the side of the water with 
pleasure (and not without advantage should your 
stock of provisions run short) during the middle 
of the day, when fish do not generally feed so 
freely as at other times, and when your sport is 
often improved by giving them, as well as your- 
self, a rest. It is managed as follows :—first collect 
a lot of small dry wood and set it on fire;—when 
a sufficient quantity of ashes has been thus ob- 
tained, which will be soon done, take a sheet of 
paper (an old newspaper will do) and wet it 
thoroughly: shake the drops off it, and then, filling 
the mouth of your fish with salt, wrap him up in it 
just as he is, uncleaned, “simplex dmmunditiis,” 
and digging a grave for him in your ash-heap, put 
him bodily into it, covering him well up afterwards
