With the absence of herring in Loch Nevis, 

 this creek continues very unproductive. 

 Returns show a decrease. 



Another very successful year was experienced 

 at this creek Last year's record results 

 almost doubled. Large increase in herrinas. 



Slight increase in quantity, with a slight 

 falling off in shell-fish. 



Results show a falling off here. Not nuich 

 attention devoted to fishing. 



Landings much the same as in previous j'ear, 

 with a small advance in value. 



Fishing of little importance at this creek. 



Results not so satisfactory as during the pre- 

 vious year, crofting being principal interest. 



Only when herrings appear in Loch Linnhe do 

 the fishermen in this section devote much 

 time to fishing.
