Appendices to Twenty -second Annual Report 



similar design to the famous and much larger pass at Ballisodare, 

 Co. Sligo, Ireland, but instead of alternating breaks, rows of stones 

 similar to those used in the Invermoriston pass described in 

 Appendix VII. have been used. A plentiful supply of water is 

 secured to the pass, which after one or two slight modifications in 

 its original structure seems to work satisfactorily. An altogether 

 exceptional run of fish occurred in the Almond before the pass was 

 finished, and it is understood that great numbers of spawing fish 

 ascended to the upper waters. It is to be regretted that the 

 Almond, which seems to attract so many late running fish, does not 

 offer better spawning ground. In a great part of its course the 

 river has a rocky bed. 



Net and coble fishing in the Tay is still confined to the waters 

 below the Linn of Campsie, and by private arrangement it has been 

 decided during the present season to observe a weekly close time of 

 60 hours, commencing at 6 p.m. each Friday.
