186 AMID THE HIGH HILLS 
1 have taken eare that the loch should not be 
fished too much, and nothing has been used but 
the wet fly. It has only been fished in May and 
June and in August and September. In INIay and 
June, which are, of course, the best months of the 
year, it has only been fished for two or three weeks, 
and in August and September it is very difficult to 
persuade the trout to rise, and a rare experience 
to catch one. It has been suggested to me that 
I should introduce rainbow trout into the loch, 
as they would rise freely in August and September, 
when the large brown trout will not do so. 
In May and June there is a hatch out of flies 
from the weeds on the loch and from the heather 
on the adjoining moorland. In particular there is 
a hatch out of a large fly, of which I have caught 
specimens. These I have sent south for examina- 
tion, and am told that they are all sedges, the 
largest being the large red sedge, Phryganea 
grandis, those next in size being cinnamon sedges. 
I have had flies dressed in imitation of these, and 
if one is fortunate enough to be on the loch when 
the sedges are hatching out, there is grand sport 
to be had, and sport which is greatly increased 
by the presence of so many troublesome weeds. 
The loch was not fished until 1913, three years
