period, a sofficient proof of their forward condition, and 
pport phould be obtained from any rapid ewim over a 
gravelly bottom. Bream have taken up a position on the 
scouring beds, and, with dace taking flies readily, pros¬ 
pects look favourable, and anglers are anxiously discuss¬ 
ing probabilities.— Trentsider. 
Upper Eden. —During last week and the beginning 
of this many local anglers creeled about a dozen trout 
each with the small fly. In the course of an hour’s 
fishing in the Jubilee Bridge stream, on Friday evening, 
Mr. A. E. Heelis killed sixteen fine trout with Scottish 
Loch flies, and on Saturday evening made another good 
basket. On the same morning Mr. A. C. Whitehead 
caught thirteen trout in the Colby Laith stream, with 
small flies. Kiver very low. 
Usk (Usk) —The river has again become excessively 
low. and angling is practically at a standstill. A few 
anglers venture out more for exercise than anything 
else, and only one salmon has been captured during the 
past week, Mr. H. W. Pride landed one 1.51b. A few 
trout have been taken with the worm and the butterfly 
by bobbing it under the bushes. Disease is not so pre¬ 
valent in any kind of fish.

Berriedale (Caithness).— For some weeks this little 
river has been entirely shut off from the sea by a large 
band of gravel silting up and shutting the river month. 
A very heavy spate will be wanted before it is cleared. 
Meanwhile no fish can enter or leave the river. Seven 
boxes of salmon were got by the netsmen during the 
week and a few grilse; these are running small as yet, 
from 241 b. to 4lb. each. Nothing is doing in angling; 
even the favourite bnms being too low.—S. C. 
Carron, Easter Boss (Ardgay, H B.)— Last week 
was blank on all the beats, although most of them were 
more or less fished. A good deal of rain fell, but it had 
little or no effect on the river. No angling need be 
expected until a thorough spate comes. On Monday this, 
week, Mr. W^ Allis Smith, of Glencalvie, caught an 81b. 
salmon on the upper beat.—McB. 
Coll Hotel.— Nothing doing this week. We have 
had some heavy showers, which have made the water in 
lochs of a better colour for angling, but would require a 
good flood to fill the lochs to their normal level, as the 
continued fine weather has run them very low. Weather 
very warm and bright.— Mungo M. Clure.

Kyle of Sutherland (Bonarbridge, N.B.).— 
During the past week several nice sea trout, averaging 
about 11b. each, have been landed, but on the whole 
sport has not been good. The net salmon fishings are 
rapidly improving in productiveness, particularly on 
Mr. Anderson’s Rivermouth, South Bonar, and Scalp 
Shot. From all the nettings in this neighbourhood put 
together, including Messrs. Powrie and Pitcaithley’s 
Skibo fishings on the Dornoch Firth, close on two tons 
of salmon were despatched to Billingsgate and other 
markets in the course of the week.—McS.

day, the same anglers, on Loch Merkland, twenty three 
trout, 211b. Mr. Waterall, Mr. Froggatt, and Mr. Place, 
all from Nottingham, fished Upper and Mid Shin beats, 
but, owing to a severe thunderstorm, lasting from 11 a.m. 
until 6 p.m., sport was indifferent. On Monday, this 
week, which was dead calm, Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, on 
Loch Merkland, sixteen trout, 7Jib. ; Mr. and Mrs. 
Paradox, on Tiag beat. Loch Shin, 2 dozen, 131b.; Mr. 
Froggatt, on Loch Merkland, IJ dozen, 71b.; and Mess s. 
Waterall and Place, on same loch, twenty trout, 71b.; 
Total for the day, eighty -01 e trout, 34Jlb.—McB. 
Tweed. &c. —There is still very little to report from 
the Kelso disirict of the Tweed, Teviot, or other rivers, 
so far as anglii g is concerned. A fairish quaiitity of 
rain has fallen during the week, but it has not in the 
slightest degree touched the conditions of the waters. 
All the rivers in the Bowen district are at an exceed¬ 
ingly low ebb, and are also in a most deplorable state 
of dirt and filth just now, o^ing to the long-continued 
drought; and it will take a flood of fully six feet to do 
any good; in fact, in the neighbourhood of Kelso, the 
accumulations of obnoxious matter in the river Tweed is 
very great, so great indeed, that notice of it has not 
escaped the sanitary authorities, the medical officer 
[June 10, 1893 
for the town having called attention to the large accu¬ 
mulation of mud and other refuse in the bed of the river 
at the head of the town, stating that it would be dan¬ 
gerous te health should any epidemic break out. Steps 
are to be taken to have this part of the river cleaned, we 
believe. As can be imagined by anglers, there is little 
sport, and fishing is not of much account at present. A 
few good baskets are got now and then with worm during 
the day, but flv-fishers scarcely get any fish during 
the daytime, although a number of fair good-sized trouD 
are got with the lure after dusk. On the Teviot, during 
the week, one or two baskets of from 21b. up to 341b. 
have been killed. On the Tweed, at Drybnrgh, Mr. 
James Johnston has had a basket of 131b. On the Kale, 
Bowmont, and other smaller streams in the Morebattle 
district, Mr. T. Kennedy, on Saturday last, had 1251b. ; 
Mr. John Burns, lljlb.; Mr. W. Woodcock, lljlb. ; 
Mr. Adam Hawkins, 941b. ; Mr. Andrew Scott, 111b. 6oz. 
On the iWhitadder. on Thursday last. Mr. W. Redpath 
had 541 b.; Mr. John Fraser, 3Jlb. , Mr. Pete Melville, 
341b.; Mr. W. Green, 241b. ; Mr. William Mitchell, 
2Jlb. On the Tweed, on Saturday, Mr. .lohn Smith, 
Maxwell-place, had a nice dish, including half a dozen 
of grand trout. At present there seems little chance of 
a change in the w'eather, the glass being high and 
steady, with the wind in the south-west, and the long 
looked-for flood appears to be as far off as ever.— Max- 
wheel. 
Whitadder (Ellemford). —Very little sport is 
being obtained on the Whitadder, the water being so 
extremely low. f.n Juno Ist, Mr. Thompson, Dublin, 
had 3Jlb.; Mr. A. M. Martin, nineteen trout ; Mr. 
Steed, thirteen trout ; Mr. Volck, twenty three trout ; 
2nd, Mr. Thompson, seven trout; Mr. Volck, six trout; 
Mr. A. M. Martin, 41b. ; 3rd, Mr. Volck, nine trout ; 
Mr. A. M. Martin, sixteen trout ; 5th, Mr. A. M. 
Martin, sixteen trout; Mr. Volck, nineteen trout.—

Irish Reports. 
Bann (Toomebridgee). —In the oarl.v part of the 
week rain fell in small showers, and on Saturday there 
was a short thunderstorm, which it was supposed would 
break UD the drought, but it did not. 
Blackxvater, Benburh (co. Tyrone). —Another 
week of disappointment, as no rain fell in sufficient 
quantities to raise the water. The only sport worth 
chronicling is a bag of eighteen trout, Hlb., killed in 
four evenings by Mr. John Mills on the pools. I learn 
that at Blackwater town bream fishing is simply splendid. 
—J. A. B. 
Carlisle Arms Hotel (Cong).— Weather very 
favourable for fishing here just now. On Saturday Mr. 
Herring and Mr. Farrar got 121b. trout and one large 
pike. On Monday they caught 201b. trout, the largest 
fish weighing 51b. Tuesday they got 121b. trout, and 
Capt. Bushnell two very handsome trout weighing 7tb. 
Mount Gable Hotel, Clonbur, Co. Galuray.— 
Dr. Binson, Dublin, Capt. Twaites, Bramham Gardens, 
London, and Mr. Cross have been fishing LoUgha Mask 
and Coolin for the past ten days, and have got on an 
average each rod per day 12lb. of trout, the largest 
4flb., Dr. Binson getting one day, on Lough Coolin, 
twenty-eight trout from Jib. to 141b. Owing to late 
floods some good river fishing is to be had.— Patt 
Burke, fisherman. 
Mourne and Strule. —The brown trout season is 
now almost over, and, owing to the drought, has been a 
failure. Apparently the rain is as far off as ever. I 
am glad to say that the pike are getting a clearing out 
in many places—especially up stream towards Omagh. 
Mojola (Castleda'wson, co. Derry) —A drizzling 
rain set in on Saturday after a thunderstorm, but 
sufficiently voluminous to cause a spate. A week's 
continuous downpour would scarcely raise the stream 
to its normal height. Some English visitors were on 
the lower sections of this stream daring the Whitsun¬ 
tide holidays. Under ordinary circumstances, salmon 
should commence to run in another fortnight. 
Shannon and Lough Derg lEillaloe).—We have 
had a succecsion of freshets in the river this week, and 
a good supply of grilse have ascended from the sea in 
consequence. Water rather too low to-day, however, 
for which, as regards sport—the ill-timed manipulation 
of the sluice gates is alone responsible. The trout fish¬ 
ing on the streams is just beginning to improve—I mean 
the evening fishing. Mr. F. Lenny, Maidstone, and 
Capt. and Mrs. Lewis, Walton-on Thames, have killed 
some very fine baskets of beautiful trout this week. Mr. 
J. O. Vinter, Southfield, Cambridge, and his friend, Mr. 
Robert Brearl,y, Lamplands, Batley, Yorkshire, haye also 
secured seyeral creels of dainty trout, some of them 
141 b. each. On the various salmon beats the following 
fish have been captured since this day week :—May 31, 
J. Johnson and Grimes, one salmon, 161b. ; June 2, 
one grilse, 111b. ; 3rd, one salmon, 191b. ; 4th, one grilse, 
81b.; 5th, Mr. C. Lefroy, one grilse, 6ib. ; Mr. F. Len- 
ney, two salmon, 151b. and 121b. ; 6th, Mr. C. Lefroy, 
fishing for trout, had two grilse, 81b. and 61b.; W. 
Malone and T. Grimes, b-fore breakfast, two 
grilse, CIb. each; 7th, Mr C. Lefroy, one grilse, 
6ib. Several other salmon rods out to-day, but I have 
not yet received an account of their doings on the pre¬ 
serves. The folio ■«ing English visitors have arrived this 
week for the fishing; Mr. J. O. Vinter, Southfield, 
Cambridge, and his brother-in-law, Mr. R Brearly, 
Lamplands, Batley, Y^orkshire ; Mr. W. A. H. Martin, 
Upper Hall, Ledbury, Herefordshire, and Mrs. Martin. 
The following have left this week ; Mr. W. Young, D.L., 
and Mrs. Young, Brockley Park, Stradbally, Queen’s 
Co.; Major Traherne and Mr. F. Lenney. — S. J.
