Reverting to the early part of the past week, Mr. F.

which is very early for summer salmon so far up the river 
as the neighbourhood of Langholm. Between Longtown 
and Canonbie, Mr. Walter Scott, of Holmfoot, had three 
sea trout; Mr. J. Murray, Langholm, had two sea trout 
and five yellow trout from the rocky water opposite

Should the much needed rain come soon the season may 
yet turn out well for visitors to the Esk, as over sixty 
of the local anglers accused of poaching have been 
refused permission to fish either in the Esk or Liddle 
or any of their tributaries.—W. A. ’ 
Breadalbane Arms (Aberfeldy).— Mr. Black, of 
Edinburgh, fished Loch-na-Craig two days last week

Dee (Aberdeensbire).-The Bee is now in most 
parts little better than a good-sized burn. Few fresh fish 
are being got, as none are getting away from the sea. 
oalmon augliug on the middle and lower reaches is out 
of the question. On the Invercauld House waters. Sir 
Algernon Borthwick and party captured over a hundred 
hsh in a fortnight. Miss Borthwick carried the palm of 
the party with the highest individual score. On the 
Birkball waters, Capta'.n Bean and the officer^i of Her 
Majesty’s guard of honour, are doing faiily well 
pme excellent baskets of trout being made 
in addition to several average - sized fish. On the 
Invercauld Ballater section very good sport has 
been had during the week. Mr. Abbey creeled four 
scalingfrom Clb. to 9Jlb.,two, 7ilb. and IS^lb., and four! 
OJlb. to 8 Jlb : while the Rev. Mr. Upcher had two of 
lib. and 81b., five scaling from 71b. to 91b., one 91b., one 
1 Upcher grassed one scaling 
14|lb three of 91b., Ulb., and 151b.; three 7ilb., 7ilb., 
and 'jlb-; and one of 81b. On the same water, Mr Wm 
Murdoch creeled fourteen fish in less than eight days’ 
fishing,.scaling from Gib. to 241b. On the Glen Tana 
water a few have been got. but none lower down, as far 
as reported. Ihe show of salmon on the coast is still 
keeping up, and has been brighter than at any other 
period of the season. Grilse are moving very slowly 
*i!**i®S 1 sea trout fishing is being had nightly iii 
the tidal waters. Kelts have entirely cleared out with 
the smMt mipation. A fine grilse was got at the mouth 
of the Bon the oth-rday. scaline 41b.—B eesider 
D trwent (Ambergate).-Owing to the very low 
and clear state of the Berwentand tributaries, sport has 
not been good The best trout have fallen to the 
natural house-fiy by dibbing under the overhanging 
trees Aquatic flies are numerous, the small Yellow 
Hun the most conspicuous. Prospects, without rain 
not very promising for next week.—A mber Bun. 
Deveroa (Banffshire). —The tributary etreama are 
almost dried up, and, although thunder clouds have been 
prevalent of late, little or no rain has fallen. Until a 
heavy spate sets in angling cannot be prosecuted with 
any degree of success. In the deeper pools trout are 
in goodly numbers, but shy to hook. Only in the tidal 
au^d lower pools of the river is net fishing prevented. 
The water is extremely shallow at the entrance, which 
keeps fish from getting up. No grilse have yet made 
their appearance. At this season of the year last 
summer the weekly eatch of salmon was from four to 
SIX boxes. Last week it was twelve boxes, and on Mon- 
da,y three boxes were sent to the markets, and the 
middle of the present week four boxes. At Gardens- 
town the fishings are very backward.—H. W. 
Deyeron (Huntly).— Notwithstanding the low state 
in which the river has been so long, the baskets of trout 
lately got were, in some cases, very good. Early- 
morning fishers with the worm are presently having a 
good time of it, and are landing some very fine, large 
tront. Messrs. Faed and Farquharson, from Edinburgh, 
residing at Laurel Bank, had, .for five day’s fishing 
81ilb. of capital trout: Monday they got 23'ilb. ; Tues 
day, 101b. : ’Wednesday, 14Jlb. ; Thursday, 111b. , 
Uj’idaV’ 17ilb. The Monday’s take was got with the fly! 
chiefly; the other days’ takes with fly and worm. 
(Fife), All the streams in the county are very 
low. Mr. N. B. Boucher had a basket of seventeen, 
Mr. Alison had eight good trout, and Mr. John Morgan 
had 31b, lOoz, On the Leven and Orr the takes have 
been light, but some good fish have been got at the 
favourite pools.— Iasgair. 
Eglinton Hotel (Dalmellington).— The weather 
® keeping dry and hot, with an occasional 
thunder shower, yet the lochs ai e yielding good 
sport whenever there is the least breeze to ripple 
the water. Mr. Kennedy, out from this hotel, had 
a good week’s sport —best catch in one day, four 
dozen trout, weighing 111b. 12oz. Messrs. Ferguson 
and Stevenson had four dozen and eleven trout 
as their best take in a day, w-hile Mr. Osborne, on 
Loch Finlas, had, to hia own rod, aix dozen and three 
trout. Messrs. Leggat and party, Glasgow, on Balloch- 
lyng) creeled about five dozen. Messrs. Cox and Mor¬ 
ton, Ayr, had, on Loch Boon, five dozen and seven 
trout. 'The Bothwell and Blantyre Angling Club 1 e’.d a 
competition on Loch Boon on the loth, when twenty 
members competed from ten boats — Jas. Macdonald! 
Helmsdale (Helmsdale).— The low state of the 
river is beyond description. The Buke’s netsmen have 
had it all their own way. So far they have had a 
paying season. One day last week they had six boxes 
of salmon, and for the week a dozen. Grilse are now 
coming on in increasing numbers—thirsting to go up 
stream. Loch fishing is doing wonderfully well, and 
excellent baskets are being got on several of the beat 
lochs, but, with rain, sport would be much improved. 
Pollock are most numerous, and are being got fishing 
even from the banka.—S. C. 
IncKnadampli Hotel 'Waters (lachnadampli, 
via Lairg). —Considering the weathi r, sport was very 
good in the various lochs. The record of sport is as 
follows ; On Tuesday, last week, fishing Loch Assynt 
Mr. Macewen killed one Salmoferox, of 3Hb. Mr. Fry 
killed two dozen fine trout, weighing l(Jlb., on Loch 
Awe. Mr. Cookson killed thirty-five trout, weighing 
121b., on Mid-Assynt. On Wednesday, Mr. Macewen 
on Loch Gillaroo, had thirty-five trout, 13Jlb. Mr! 
Cookson, on Loch Awe, caught twenty-eight trout 
weighing 121b. On Thursday, Mr. Fry. of London, fished 
Loch Awe, twenty-four trout, 12lb. ; Mr. Cookson. Loch 
Assynt, twenty-two trout, 71b. On Friday, Mr. Heath- 
cot and friend made a basket of twenty-four trout, 131b 
on Loch Awe; Mr. Cookson caught forty tront, 121b., on 
Loch Assynt; Mr. Macewen caught twenty-two tront 
1251 b., on Wee Lochs; Mr. Schwind and friend, on the 
same waters, had sixty-four trout, 181b. On Monday 
Mr. Cookson landed a fine Salmo ferox, scaling lljlb., on 
Loch Assynt. On the same loch, for a few hours, Mr 
Schwind and friend caught thirteen tront, 51b. Mr Fry 
killed ten trout. 81b., on Loch Awe.—J. Y. 
Inverness-shire'Waters, N.B.— Considering the 
low state of the waters, the bright sun, and sultry 
thundery weather, good sport was got on Loohness last 
week, baskets of 101b. and 121b. were common, and the 
trout averaged fib. Mr. Annan had fair sport during 
his stay, and Mr. Flasket, staying at the “Fort 
Augustus,’’ is getting fair baskets. Four boats are out 
Horn the above house to-day, and as a nice westerly 
breeze is on the loch, I predict a good day’s sport. The 
Quarry is miseiably low, and the sport got is far below 
the average. Mr. Clapperton from Invergarry School- 
house, is getting fairly good sport. Sport on Loch 
Ruthven IS looking up; as many as fifty-four trout being 
got per day (two rods). The tront are by no means 
large, averaging rather more than fib.—H ison. 
Isla (Perthshire). —The Isla is lower than at any 
Kogers and 
Mr. Morton, Edinburgh, have at times done fairly well 
On Brewlands Loch, on Saturday, Mr. Kydd and friend 
Bunde‘_, had eighteen brace of nice trout. ’

Beannoch has been trolled with minnow. On Loch 
Fewn Mr. Buckley and friends killed ninety trout 
which aggregated 301b. 
LocKlev/On (Kinross). —Fish have risen well to the 
fly during the past week, but the weather has been too 
clear, and trout came too short for good sport. The 
principal angling event during the week was the United 
Edinburgh Clubs Competition, which took place on 
Friday. The following six clubs were represented : 
Amateur, Breadalbane, Waverley, Walton, Midlothian 
and St. Andrew. With the exception of the latter
