BIG TROUT. 
Among the biggest trout captuicd witl 
recent history pride of place belongs to 1 
monster of Loch Stennes, which weigl 
twenty-nine pounds and was caught on a lit 
line in 1889. It was one of those big bro 
trout which have taken to salt 01 pai tially i 
water (“slob” or estuarine trout), and the f 
cast of it made by Mr. Malloch and now in 
Fly Fishers Club shows that salt-water agn 
with it. Another big trout was caught 
Lough Ennel in 1894. This weighed twenty- 
pounds and took a spoon bait. 
The Irish lakes have yielded several fish 
fifteen pounds or more in recent years. A tr 
of twenty-one pounds was caught in Loch R 
noch in 1904 by a young lady, and in the sa 
year a youthful angler of 10 got one in 
Test at Broadlands which weighed sixt 
pounds. The largest trout caught in the sot 
ern streams of late, however, was the eighte 
pounder from the New River, which fell a 
tim to ci lobworm in 1908. I be record 1 bcii 
trout was caught in 1880 and weighed sixt 
pounds fifteen ounces.—Journal of the Sain
