Locbleveu (Kinross). —The loch has become very 
low with the protracted drought. At the shallows, 
where most of the fish are usually landed, the depth of 
water at present does not exceed 3ft. Two days of cloudy 
weather have made the angler more expectant, though no 
rain has yet fallen. Club competitions throughout the 
week have proved almost a failure. Perch are now very 
numerous in the loch, and the warm weather is bring¬ 
ing them in large shoals near the shore.— Robert B. 
Lajnq. 
Lochmaddy Hotel Waters, North Uist. —Not for 
many years have the numerous lochs of North Uist been 
83' low as at present. Sea-trout are showing in good 
numbers in the bays, and there should be a good run by 
the middle of July, if spring tides will be favourable.

D. Dow. 
Overscaig Hotel Waters (via Lairg, N.B.).— 
Loch Griam, Loch Merkland, Loch Gorm, and the various 
Shin Beats are giving excellent sport to a number of 
anglers. On Tuesday a thunderstorm prevailed. Rev. 
Canon Faber, Doncaster, had nineteen trout, the

shore, had seven fine trout. On Wednesday the heaviest 
baskets were sixty-four trout, 131b., by Mr. and Mrs. 
Dixon, and forty trout, 121b., by Rev. Canon Faber. On 
Thursday, which was so thundery, that only six rods 
were out, and landed between them 106 trout, 491b. On 
Friday, twelve rods in six boats, caught 205 trout, 
74Jlb. Saturday was so unfavourable that several 
anglers did not fish. The best basket of the day was by 
Messrs. Taylor and Mackinlay, Glasgow, who tried Loch 
Merkland, and had twenty-six trout, 91b.—McB. 
Shin (luveran, N.B.). —Fishing the lower beats 
from the Sutherland Arms Hotel, the following sport 
has been obtained, viz.:—On Wednesday, Miss Buxton, 
one grilse, of 4,Ub, on Poll Caolag; on Thursday, Col. 
Upsher, a salmon weighing lljlb., on Long Pool; and, 
on Friday, Mrs. Upsher, a 10-pounder, on Grief Pool. 
On Saturday, Mr. Buxton and party fished Loch Cracail, 
and got two and a quarter dozen trout, aggregating lOJlb. 
Monday, this week, was blank, but on Tuesday, Colonel 
Upsher landed a grilse of SJlb. and a 101b. salmon ; and 
Mrs. Upsher, a salmon of lOJlb., on the Shin ; while Mr. 
Buxton bad a 21b. sea-trout, on the Kyle of Sutherland. 
South, of Scotland. —The Dumfriesshire rivers have 
not been at such a low ebb for thirty years. Many of 
the streams can be easily forded without wetting the 
feet. Sea-trout are very plentiful in all the lower 
waters, but they fight shy of all lures.— The Annan.— 
Only 2J inches of water is flowing down the salmon 
pass at Annan Bridge, and sea-trout cannot get up 
the river except by the aid of the tides. Herling are 
showing this week, and several have been caught 
by local hands.— The Esk. — On the Esk the sport 
has been very poor during the past week. — The 
Galloway Rivers. — No sport has been obtained 
on the rivers of this district, and until rain comes to 
flood the streams there is no hope of sport. Some of the 
Dumfriesshire rivers are very low.— The Nith. —This 
river has gone down to a mere brook in the higher 
waters, and sport is at a complete standstill. In the 
Tnornhill and Auldgirth portions a few yellow trout are 
being caught, and an odd sea-trout has been taken. 
Spey (Morayshire). —No improvement in angling 
conditions. The river is less than ever, and all along 
its course is at a lower ebb than ever recorded in the 
memory of anyone living. At many points an ordinary 
trout cast would more than cover its breadth. Angling 
on most of the reaches is out of the question, and the 
Duke’s netsmen are having it all their own way wdth 
any fish that may get away from the sea. Grilse of 
very light weight are being got by these netsmen, which 
they do not look upon favourably. Tributary streams 
are almost dried up. In one of these, the Isla (Banff¬ 
shire), numbers of dead trout are to be seen, which is 
supposed to be attributable to its low ebb. The salmon 
fishing on the coast is still keeping up well, and during 
the past fortnight has been brighter than at any other 
period of the season. Good numbers of grilse are being 
got, weighing from 21b. to 41b. each, the average weight 
of the salmon being 101b. For week ending 10th inat. 
forty boxes were despatched from Lossiemouth to 
London, weighing 4 tons 12 cwt. ; and last week’s 
despatch was forty-five and a quarter boxes weighing 
5 tons 7cwt. On the Findhorn angling for some time 
back has been at a discount.—J. M. 
Tongue Hotel Waters (Tongue, Sutherland, 
N.B ).—Weather warm and bright ; rain much needed. 
Fishing Loch Craggie, Mr. Parker, of London, killed 
eight brown trout, weighing 51b., on Monday ; nine trout, 
averaging Jib. each, on Tuesday ; and nine trout, 4Jlb., 
on Wednesday. On Thursday, Mr. Macartney, of 
London, killed a grilse of 21b., and eight trout, 2lb., on 
Loch Slamm ; on Loch Craggie, Mr. Parker had fair 
sport. On Friday, Mr. Macartney fished Loch Loyal, 
and caught six trout, weighing 41b. : Mr. Parker killed 
ten trout, weighing 541b., in Loch Craggie. On Satur¬ 
day, Mr. Macartney, caught nineteen trout, weighing 
81b., on Loch Slamm ; and Mr. Parker, on Loeh Craggie, 
eight trout, weighing 5Jlb.—J. Y. 
Tweed and Teviot. —There is nothing new to report 
from these rivers for the past week. A tew anglers go 
out during the day-time, but meet with little success ; 
over those who fish in the cool of the evening find sport 
comparatively poor. Baskets, as a rule, are not heavy, 
but they sometimes contain a large trout or two. The 
beat take we have heard of since last report in the Kelso 
district was one of 5Jlb. got on the Tweed early on 
Wednesday with worm and minnow, while the same 
angler had 2ilb. the same evening with fly. As show¬ 
ing the lowness of some of the streams, a man on the 
Oxnam water “jumped” 61b. of trout (eight fish) on 
Saturday. A good many large trout are being got in 
various rivers just now. On the Tweed, near Sunder¬ 
land Hall, a common trout of 21b. 15oz. was got this 
week by a Selkirk fisher, while on the Whitadder, near 
Elba, Mr. John Forrest, Cumledge Mill, Duns, had a 
241 b. trout in grand condition. We have had a few 
very slight showers of rain during the week, but tb®y 
were of too short duration to be of any good to eather 
river or fishing, and until we have two or three days 
solid rain, we can have no flood. At the present time 
there are small indications of anything of the kind. 
Maxwheel. . 
Usk (at Usk). —The river rose about four inches on 
Tuesday, from the effects of a heavy thunderstorm, but 
nothing has been done with the rod and line. The w^er 
is becoming very foul, but the disease in salmon has 
disappeared.—T. , 
Tthan. —Fish are quite plentiful on the tidal reaches 
of this famous sea-trout stream. The weather has not . 
been of the best for angling purposes, yet tolerably 
good baskets have been made every other day by one or 
other of the anglers fishing from the Udny Arms. 
Among others who have been eminently successful 
during the past week may be mentioned Mr. and Mrs. 
Geo. Davidson, of Wellwood, Col. Hunter, of Tilley, 
and others. The prospects are improving daily. Ihe 
Udny Arms hotil has been recently extended, and e^^ra 
accommodation is now at the disposal of visitors to this 
angling resort.—G. M. 
Irish Reports. 
Ballinderry. —In the past week evening fishing has 
been more engaged in—seven to nine being the more 
favourable period. On the Coagh pools a few ags of 
brown trout were got, and off the Bar mouthba 4lb. 
S. ferox was killed. Salmon and lake trout should be 
plentiful in the river this week under ordinary circum¬ 
stances, but there is no appearanco of any as yet. 
Sergeant Fraser on Tuesday evening killed three pike 
averaging 41b-—on the artificial fly, vvhile trouting. 
Blackwater (co. Tyimne). —The rain, so long 
looked for, has not yet come, and anglers’ hopes are at 
the lowest ebb. Night fishing is the only sport avail¬ 
able, if we except pike spinning. Last Tuesday, above 
Maghery Ferry, your correspondent killed seven pike, 
from 341 b. to 64ib. each, on a silk phantom minnow. 
No salmon have yet been seen in the river.—J. A. B. 
Moy and Lakes (B.allina).— Sport has been poor 
on river and lakes during the past week. Grilse and 
sea-trout are numerous in the river, and come up with 
the lines as far as the salmon weirs, then fall back to the 
deeper pools, where they remain, but will not rise to the 
fly freely owing to the low state of the water. Sea- 
trout rise more freely in the evenings from 9 p.m. to 
12 p.m., and some nice baskets of these fish are obtained 
by anglers who fish late. On the loughs, I have only 
heard of one decent basket, on Lough Conn, got by Mr. 
J. Platt, jun., Enniscoe, ten trout averaging 11b. a 
piece, all with fly.— Frank Hearns. 
Skannou and Lough Derg (Killaloe). —The 
river is very low and fine this week, but, for all that, we 
are much better off than our piscatorial friends on almost 
every other salmon river in Great Britain and Ireland, 
We have one thing to console us always here, even in a 
great drought like the present, and that is, that Lough 
Derg, with its 50,000 square acres of water area, is 
immediately above our salmon beats in the river, so that, 
happen what may, there is always a fair supply of water 
for angling purposes on the streams. The free water 
referred to in my report of last week is still supporting 
the reputation of this place, as a good many grilse have 
been taken therein this week. On the 16th, J. Johnson 
and W. Ives got, on the free water above the bridge, 
four grilse, two 51b. each and two 41b. each; and, on 
the 19th, three grilse, 71b., 61b., and 5Jlb.; same 
date, W. Malone and T. Grimes, before breakfast, 
two grilse, 71b. and 51b. : on the 16th, two, 71b. 
and 61b.; Saturday, the 17th, one, 81b. ; 18th, one 
salmon, 221b., and one grilse, 6Jlb. ; 16th, J. Daly, 
one grilse, 41b.; 19th, two grilse, 71b. and 641b.; 
17th, Mr. J. O. Vinter, on the preserves, one 
grilse, 81b.; 14th, Mr. W. A. H. Martin, on the 
preserves, four grilse, 81b., 71b., 61b., and 61b.; 14th, 
two grilse ; Mr. C. Lefroy and one or two other rods 
have also killed a few grilse. Mr. Vinter, Mr. Martin, 
and other English visitors, hive had some pretty good 
s )ort among the river rout during the week.—S. J. 
Hurley. 
Shannon (Castle Connell).— Dry, bright weather, 
and low water. On Doonass, Mr. G. VV. Greenhill got 
one peal, 41b., on 15th. Ou the same water, Mr. H. 
Hodges’s fishermen got one peal, 4115., on the 2l8t. On 
Prospect, Sir H. B. Meredylh, Bart., got two peal, 
3Jlb. and 4Jlb., on 15th. Mr. G. W. Greenhill, on same 
water, got two peal, 31b. and 41b., on 17th, and two peal, 
41b. and 541b., on 19th On Newgarden, Mr. B. L. 
Marples got two peal, 31b. and 41b., on 15th; one peal, 
4Jlb., on 16th, and one peal, 51b., on 20th. Capt. 
Bayley, on Woodlands, got one salmon, 161b., on 14th. 
Mrs. E. T. Ingham got one peal, 241b., on Summerhill 
and De Burgho on20Dh.— John Enrioht and Son. 
Straid Loug'li. —On this lake, which is preserved 
by the Belfast Angling Association, some of the members 
latterly had fair sport—the best bag being one of a 
dozen trout, killed by Captain Perry last Thursday. 
The lake is well stocked. 
Important to those who wish to become Expert Anglers. 
—At the request of a number of ladies and gentlemen, Janies 
Kerss, Sprouston-on-Tweod, winner of the International Fly¬ 
casting at Twickenham, ISHO, and at Edinburgh, I8;t2, has 
decided to again give a cour.so of lessons in the art of salmon and 
trout fly casting, also bait casting, at Messrs. Warner's Welsh 
Harp Fishery, Hendon. J. K. will be at the Welsh Harp for this 
purpose ou Thursday, June 1, IH'JJ; and as the course will only 
last for a limiied period, ii is important that those who wish to 
take lessons should make early application. Terms: Salmon fly 
and bait casting, £2 for four lessons; troutfly casting, £1 for four 
lessons. Bods and tackle will be provided.—Bellevue Cottage, 
Sprouston, Kelso, N.B.
