Ludford water, eport has been grood, and some fine trout 
landed. Near Ashford, sport has been good with the 
Cadow and Orl, The Ony, Corve, Clun, and Ledw^che 
are all clear, and in good order for angling, in tne 
Corve, some very nice trout have been landed with the 
Cadow, and sport has been had with the worm and 
maggot. In the Ledwyche some good fish have been 
taken. Sport in the Ony is quiet.—S. Ludlow. ^ 
Teme (Tenbury).— The Teme in this part is now 
running clear and a nice level, and in good order foi 
either fly or minnow fishing. The weather has been tine 
and suitable for angling, and a good few rods have been 
out. The fish have risen well at the Orl, Coch-y-bonnhu, 
Governor, Sp’nners, Black Gnat, and Coachman. May¬ 
fly fishing has been very good, and some very fine trout 
have been landed. On Tuesday some good fish were 
landed with the Coch-y-bondhii and May-fly. The icea, 
Kyre, and Ledwyche are all clear and low, and sport in 
them slow at present,— Worcester. _ 
XJsk (Usk). —Anglers have been in constant atten¬ 
dance on the river the past week, although the water is 
verv low for salmon fishing. Friday, Col, Waddilove 
had’ one, 101b. Saturday, Gen. Sir C. L. Barnard, 
K.O.B., one, 13^1b. : Mr. W. Stone, one, 121b. Monday, 
H. E. Cole, one, 201b. A few trout have been taken by 
up stream fishing with the worm. It is a freshet that 
is required as there are abundance of salmon on the 
lower reaches. 
Wye and Derwent (Derbyshire). — Sport on 
these rivers has been of a very variable character, more 
especially has this been the case on the Wye. I have 
only heard of one really good lot being taken on that 
stream, viz., a basket of fifteen brace by two brothers, 
Messrs. Stanley, of Manchester. On most days there 
has been a splendid rise of May-fiy. Sport has been 
much better on the various reaches of the Derwent, a 
good many heavy baskets having been made. The best 
fish has again come from the Matlock water, this being 
a beauty of 31b. 2oz. taken with the artificial Drake, by 
Mr. H. Lowe, from the Birchwood stream. A pretty dish 
of three brace were taken at Matlock Bath, by a local 
angler last night. The May-fly is about over, the best 
time now for fibbing are the early mornings and evenings, 
when the fish rise well. Sport during the coming week 
should be good.— Dotterel.

week, 1081 trout and one ferox, aggregating in all 
35211b.-McB. . , , , 
Border Esk.—The recent rains have improved the 
condition of this river, and sea trout are asi^ndii^ iu 
large numbers. In one pool alone over forty have been 
seen, therefore only a “fresh” is required to put the 
river in good order. Several sea trout have been caught 
ill the Liddle, and a number of yellow trout in some of 
the smaller tributaries, notably in the Wauchope, which 
ioins the Esk. In this little stream some good creels 
have been got, the best one by Mr. J. Barnfather, of 
Langholm. On Wednesday Mr. W._ Graham had 
three sea Irout in the Liddle; on Friday Mr. John 
Graham had one sea trout in the Byreburnfoot water ; 
Mr. Todrik, Haddington, staying at the Cross Keys 
Hotel Canonbio, was again successful in creeling a sea 
trout in the Cauldron pool; Messrs. D. Murray, Cauon- 
hie and W. Graham, Crookholm, have also had sea 
trout both in the Liddle and Esk ; Mr. K. Boughty, 
Bvrehurnfoot, bad a sea trout in the Canonhie water 
and a basket of yellow trout in Westerkirk. On Friday 
Mr. T. Irving caught two sea trout in the Langholm 
water, one over 31b. Among others, Mr. John Graham, 
of Hollows Hill Gate, has had a few-takes of sea trout 
in the middle reaches. Although the river is i™' 
proved it is still below its normal volume. Should the 
rainy season set in this will undoubtedly be a ‘ visitor s 
year,” as the new rules are much more stringent than 
formerly.—W. A. , ,• 
Borgie, (Sutherland, N.B.). —Little or no angling 
done, but the net salmon fishers are doing well at the 
estuary. On Saturday week the first grilse of the season 
was caught: it weighed about 3jro. McB. 
Freadalblane Arms, Aberfeldy.— Mr. Bain fished 
Loch-na-Craig, and got twenty trout yesterday.—A. N. 
Carron (Easter Rossi.—The only suocessiul angler 
on this river at present is Mr. W. Allis-Smith, of Glen- 
calvie, wlio landed four salmon in the course of the past 
week. The lower beats have been deserted by anglers 
owing to lack of water.—McB. 
Cassley (Roseball, N.B ).—On Tuesday this week 
a nice .salmon was caught on the lower heats. McB. 
Cuilfail Hotel Waters (Kilmelford, N.B ).

Peacock, forty-one trout. May 29, Dr. Peacock and Mr. 
Penman, thirty-six trout. J. McF. „ , . ,, 
Dee (Aberdeenshire).—A good flood is greatly 
needed The river is at present lower than ever. Pair 
sport has been got on tho Ballater and Invercauld 
waters On the latter section Sir Algernon Borthwick, 
Bart M.P., whose lease has just expired, in four days 
last week, creeled, along with his party, fourteen, fifteen, 
seven, and seven fish, scaling from S.^lb to 221b.—the 
latter the heaviest fish killed m the higher reaches of 
the Dee this season. On the Fife water, Mr. D. 
McNab had a salmon of db. on Friday, while 
some excellent trouting has been done on the main 
stream iu this district, and on the Cluny. On 
the Balmoral and Birkhall reaches. Her Majesty’s 
guests and the officers of her Guard of Honour have 
had fair sport considering the abnormally bad conditions 
under which angling is presently being conducted. On 
the Invercauld Ballater reaches, Mr. Coupland landed 
two of 81b. and 101b. ; one, of 81b. ; and two, of 71b. and 
101b’ ■ while Colonel Younger had two, of 71b. and 91h. ; 
one 'of 81b.; one, of G^b.; two, of 51b. and 81b.; and two, 
of 5.Uh and Gib. On the Glen Tana, Aboyne, Kin¬ 
cardine O’Neil, Banchory, and lower reaches an occa¬ 
sional fish is being got Trouting is being prosecuted 
with marked success, Mr. Obel, Aberdeen, MacKay 
Blaoklaws, Kincardine _ O’Neil, having nightly good 
baskets of prime-conditioned fash. List week was the 
best week on the coast netting stations since the season 
opened Fish were plentiful. Grilse are coming in 
more freely. A good few have been got in the Dee dis¬ 
trict, scaling from 21b. to 31h. bea-trout are falling oS 
in numbers.—DBESmEB. -kt j, -n, i j- xt, i 
Deveron (BanfFshire).—Notwithstanding the low 
state of water in the Deveron the recent rains have 
given an impetus to fishing. On tho tidal and several of 
the middle waters a few trout have been got, but as 
vet not a clean salmon or grilse his fallen to the rod. 
Pish are now getting up to the oruives. On the coast 
the fishing is also showing signs of reviving. For the 
latter half of the past week, and the first half of the 
present, six boxes of salmon were consigned to the 
markets. Thecurrent price is Is. hJ. per lb.—H. W. 
Don (AherdeensKire).—Never in the memory of 
any living inhabitant has this river been seen so low. I 
do not believe a single clean fish has hem killed above 
the dykes this season, and now if a flood comes it is the 
wrong time of year for many fish to run, and this 1 3 a very 
poor Lilse river. Owing to the low bright water, very 
little has been done with the trout. I got a good basket 
a few days ago-twenty-five trout 15Ub , in very fine 
condition, one a fine fellow of 2jlb I killed them all 
with fly an Irish pattern called the Orange Grouse Blue 
Hackle.’ This fly is tied—dirty orange body and grouse 
hackle; no tinsel.—K intobb. 
Forsinard.—During last week, Mr. Alport, Mr. 
Atkinson and Mr. Draper had good sport on the lochs 
in connection with this hotel. Earn is wanted to give 
a little colouring to the water, when sport would im- 
^^Heimsdale (Helmsdale).— The river is still very 
low Pools are so circumscribed that no one could 
know them except by landmarks. The shoals of salmon 
in the bay daily swimming at short distances trom the 
shore are worth seeing; they keep in close contact, 
and evidently have their leaders, as those in 
front leap out of the water now and again. 
Loch fishing is doing wonderfully well considering the 
low condition of the lochs. Mr E B. Muir and Mr 
Briscoe were at Badenloch, and had exceptionally good 
sport, averaging when out thirty-four per day and on 
some days they even exceeded that, and in the fortnight 
ending Saturday last they killed 2811b._ trout. The 
heaviest trout landed was one of 71b., got m Loch Eums- 
dale The best killing flies were the Zulu and the Eed 
Spider. All the salmon in the lochs are clear of disease, 
while the river is worse than ever. A gentleman at 
Suisgill the other day took out seven salmon one mass 
of fungus and had them burned. The netsmen had some 
very good hauls of salmon during the week, and three 
more grilse were got, but until rain comes those fish will 
not show in strength. Herrings are very numerous on 
this coast now, and promise good takes during tlie 
season.—S. C. , ^ ht

Xnverness-sliire "Waters. — Considering the low 
state of the water, good sport has been got lately on a 
number of lochs and rivers. Parties staying at Jmver- 
garry had baskets of trout weighing from 201h. down- 
wards* Mr. Annan from Invermoriston had a basket, 
on Friday, of sixty-eight trout, weighing 281b., seventeen 
of them being J-pounders. Mr. Annan is a most success¬ 
ful angler with both salmon and trout. Mr. Eastwood, 
staying at Lovat Arms, Fort Augustus, fishing on Loch 
Tarff, on Monday, landed fifty-three trout. The fish 
were by no means large, but altogether it was a fair 
day’s sport. Mr. Flasket, staying at the same house, is 
enjoying good trout fishing on Looh Ness. On the 
Beauly, Mr. Eadcliffe killed two nice salmon on Mon^y. 
The net fishing on river Ness is improving slightl;^ len 
fish were got on Dochfour water, and eight at Friar s 
Shot.—H ison. ^ L ■ . 
Isla (Perth). —Last week the Isla and its tributaries 
were in good ply, and their sport good. At preseiH the

four brace, averaging nearly Jib. each, aud Mr. J. Japp 
had twelve brace. On Auchmchapel loch, Messrs. Bulk 
and Forrester got twenty good trout, though not so large 
as is usually got from the loch. All the above takes 
were with fly, of which numerous kinds were tried.— 
^Kvle of Sutherland (Bonarbridge, N.B.).—Mr. 
J MacLennan, Mr. D. Mackenzie, and others have been 
m’aking nice baskets of sea-trout, which average about 
lib. each. The net salmon fishings are daily improving. 
It is estimated that from all the fishing stations put 
together, including the Skibo fishings on Dorno^ Firlli, 
fuUy 24 cwt. of salmon had been despatched to Billings¬ 
gate in the course of the week. —McB. 
Lairg (N.B.).— The weather during the past week 
has been rather unfavourable for angling in these parts.

are not in any way affected by it. _ We have had 
a quiet week so far, as our English friends have now 
gone home, after their holidays. The lochs are still 
in fine order for fishing, and the weather for the last 
two days has been all that could be desired, and local 
anglers are having good sport. On account of the un¬ 
precedented dry and warm season we have had, ttie 
fish never were in better condition- strong, tat, and 
extra well flavoured. The Uddingstone Angling Club 
competes here on Saturday first.—J as. Macdonalo.
