Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a narrative of game fishing in Scotland's world famous loch and it associated rivers Leven, Endrick and Fruin. The author has fished these waters for forty years and considers this to have been one of his life's great privileges. The book gives insight to the lochs remarkable angling history for the last century, and chronicles stories of its most famous anglers with accounts of catches made during the halcyon days on the vast water which is Lomond. The author reminisces along the way about his experiences on the loch and its rivers, with great stories of worthies encountered and mention of characters who have fished the hallowed waters such as Billy Connelly who was a member of the Loch Lomond Angling Improvement Association and fished its waters for a number of years. He is on record as saying he wishes to be buried on the bonnie banks. The islands, which set Lomond apart from the other great lochs in Scotland, are individually described in detail with photographs or fine sketches of them. There is information of where and how to fish the waters around these iconic Lomond islands, but with realism that the loch in particular remains one of anglings greatest challenges. The three main fishing rivers Leven, Endrick and Fruin are dealt with in separate chapters and the author demonstrates intimate knowledge of these rivers with first hand detailed accounts of fishing them. Although the book is of particular local interest, it has relevance for any angler who fishes in Scotland's rivers and lochs for salmon and sea trout.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotch Loch-Fishing by William Senior We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too-on the art of fishing; but loch-fishing per se has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form; but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when we say that, on the whole, a day's loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is dependent on nothing but enough wind to "curl" the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand; whereas the stream-fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water: and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a day's river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a "good" day, and the water in order; but experience has taught most of us that the "good" days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its bes We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Book excerpt: 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...
