It was noted in last year's Keport that the Tay rental was higher 

 than it ever had been. The rental for 1902 is a slight advance on 

 even that high figure. 



The net fishing of the Tay is now confined to the waters below 

 the Linn of Campsie, and the great majority of the fishing stations 

 are in the tenancy of the Tay Salmon Fisheries Company. 

 Rental of Dee In the District of the Aberdeenshire Dee also, the present rental 

 Fishin"s highest cvcr attained. The Dee rental has steadily risen, 



u mgb. ^^^^ action chiefiy of the Dee Salmon Fishing Improvement 



Association, from the figure of £7030 in 1872 to the figure of 

 £19,455 in 1902. The Association referred to was formed for the 

 purpose of leasing the nets and removing them from the river in 

 order to allow of a greater number of salmon spawning naturally 

 This method was preferred to that of artificial propagation after a 

 careful consideration of the question in 1871, and the nets wer( 

 steadily removed from above downwards, commencing at the 

 highest netted point, viz., Banchory-Ternan.
