This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXI. On "sporting" Lochs And Kindred Waters. Each in his own dub, we are all "kindly tenants" of the same great Xing. The rights of citizenship are not of the chalk-streami nor the canal nor the salmon river nor the upland tarn nor even the wide sea, but wherever a rod gleams and a fish swims, and the Great Brotherhood boasts a single commoner of the larger air, coming salt or fresh on the lips amidst the weary spaces of life, the Great Charter writ on many waters grants equality and liberty conditioned only by a love of "all things both great and small" and a due observance of the golden rule of all honest men and honest sportsmen, that the law of the game is the art of the " good and fair," to live honestly, injure no man and render to each fish and all fishers their due. I may, therefore, in this broad spirit of toleration throw special pleading to the winds. Whether, therefore, the purist is right or wrong in claiming for his trout a meaure of that same brain muscularity which Shakespeare and Socrates possessed only in a higher degree, he is Justified in maintaining that the ordinary loch trout is more easily killed under normal conditions than is the trout of the river, especially that acutely sensitive, and reputedly suspicious dweller in the clear and limpid chalk-streams of the south, whose sentinel-watch for the tit-bits of Nature's fly-spread table is held in spots that bid seen danger defiance, and challenge the ambushed guile of his circumventor. Nevertheless, it is as just as true that there are lochs and lochs, as it is that there are rivers and rivers. In some of the larger lakes, such as Loch Lomond, the "chuck and chance it" method is, no doubt, characteristic of the mode of angling, for it takes no great wind...

Included are easy-to-understand illustrations for making sure your backing, fly line, leader and tippet will not fail when you're fighting the fish of a lifetime.

Bruce Sandison confesses to being one of Britain¿s best-known purveyors of angling lies. His book The Trout Lochs of Scotland is described by his son as being "the finest work of angling fiction ever written". He is the author of six other books on game fishing, travel, Scottish history and the environment and he has been The Scotsman¿s angling correspondent for 16 years. He claims his most significant achievement is the ability to tie a blood-knot in under ten seconds; a skill he says he has acquired through teaching handless members of his tribe to fish.

Fly fishermen have been catching trout and salmon from Ireland's abundant rivers and loughs for centuries. This practical fishing book, written by Ireland's top fly-fishing instructor, Peter O'Reilly, looks at the rich tradition of game angling in the Emerald Isle. O'Reilly shares tips on such specialist skills as fishing the duckfly, mayfly, and murrough on the loughs; the merits of fishing the Irish shrimp fly for salmon; and the arts of dapping, Erriff-style slack-water fishing, and imitating the Sheelin bloodworm. Brimming with clear advice on tackle, flies, techniques, and river craft, this is your perfect companion guide to fishing Ireland's loughs and rivers.

Scotland is a country amply endowed with water. Most of this water takes the form of lochs and, until comparatively recently, almost every one of these lochs contained wild brown trout. Where the rich man had his salmon, the fishing of wild brown trout has been the heritage of the common man for generations. Out of this legacy has come the art form which we call traditional, or simply "loch style," fly fishing. Here, Stan Headley has succeeded in bringing this ancient and venerable practice up to date, and in doing so has debunked and demystified loch fishing in particular and fly fishing in general. He has replaced myth, fable, and fairy story with science, technology, and understanding. The author has always maintained that a thinking angler is a successful angler, and the purpose of these pages is not simply to inform but, more important, to encourage enlightened thought on a fascinating subject--wild trout and how to catch them. Now, armed with this unique book, both novice and experienced fly fisher alike will have a far greater understanding of fish behavior and successful fishing technique.

A homage to a remarkable poet and his world. 'At The Loch of Green Corrie is more than merely elegant, more than a collection of albeit fascinating insights, laugh-out-loud observations and impressively broad erudition' - Sunday Herald 'You could easily make a case that Andrew Greig has the greatest range of any living Scottish writer' - Scotsman For many years Andrew Greig saw the poet Norman MacCaig as a father figure. Months before his death, MacCaig's enigmatic final request to Greig was that he fish for him at the Loch of the Green Corrie; the location, even the real name of his destination was more mysterious still. His search took in days of outdoor living, meetings, and fishing with friends in the remote hill lochs of far North-West Scotland. It led, finally, to the waters of the Green Corrie, which would come to reflect Greig's own life, his thoughts on poetry, geology and land ownership in the Highlands and the ambiguous roles of whisky, love and male friendship. At the Loch of the Green Corrie is a richly atmospheric narrative, a celebration of losing and recovering oneself in a unique landscape, the consideration of a particular culture, and a homage to a remarkable poet and his world.
