Most of the fishermen 

 have crcfts, and only 

 pros cute the fishing 

 when herrings are in the 

 lochs. The herring 

 fishing was a complete 

 failure. 



Little doing on this

 the average.

The herring fishing in this 

 once productive loch 

 was again a complete 

 failure. Returns only 

 half those of the previous 

 year, which was very un- 

 productive.

The special features at 

 this creek are the con- 

 tinued prosperity of the 

 great-line fishing and the 

 unfortunate recurring 

 failure of the loch her- 

 ring fishing. Landings 

 from trawlers were con- 

 fined to three months. 

 A considerable reduction 

 in quantity landed,chiefly 

 in herrings.

Some impetus seems to

 being less plentiful on

 effect.

A falling-off is exhibited

 the boats fishing and 

 landing elsewhere dur- 

 ing the year.
