THE SHIN Dra1ns two hundred and twenty square miles, and is one of the most beautiful and most sporting of rivers, for though smaller than roaring Awe, it much resembles it in character, as it also empties a big loch and has but a short run to the sea. Loch Shin, from which the river flows at Lairg, is some sixteen miles in length, with an average width of three-quarters of a mile, and consequently the river draining this large reservoir nearly always has some pools in good ply. From the point where it flows out of the loch to where it falls into the Kyle of Sutherland, three miles above Bonar Bridge, the Shin has a run of six miles, in which there is a total fall of two hundred and VOL. I. 2 C seventy feet; quite sufficient to make a rapid running stream. About four miles below the exit from the loch is a heavy fall known as "The Big Falls," which, in spring, is the top pool of the lower beat, and though it has been opened up, and fish can very easily ascend, it is rare for them to make the attempt before the middle of May; prior to that date all serious salmon angling is carried on from Mackay's Hotel at Inveran, renowned for its comfort and pretty site on the bank of the Cruive or Home Pool. From the Big Falls to the Kyle the distance by river is some two miles. Most of the angling is from the right bank, with the pools nearly continuous, a short walk or scramble round some projecting cliff speedily bringing the angler to a fresh cast. The birch-clad scenery of the steep rocky banks is wildly beautiful, so much so that an American staying at Inveran Hotel recorded in the visitors' book, "Talk of the scenery of Killiecrankie Pass, why, the Shin licks it into fits!" The river opens, like the other streams of the Kyle, on...

Excerpt: ... quantities of sea trout and finnock hereabouts, and twenty-five to thirty pounds a day have often been taken. The Aikenway reach goes, on the right bank, from the end of Arndilly and the Long Pool down to just above Hollen Bush Pool; on the left bank it begins at the Green Burn Pool at the end of Rothes, and goes down to the Island. There are ten good casts on this water, Sandy Hills, Gean Trees and Sourdan being specially fine ones. Like Arndilly, this reach has not fished up to its former reputation for the last three years, but till the bad times began it used to yield about fifty fish up to the 1st of August, and from fifty to eighty more to the end of the season. Prior to 1895, days of ten fish to a rod, or eighteen to two rods, were not rare events in autumn, while one spring day Mr. W. S. Menzies had nineteen As Rothes ends on the left bank and Aikenway on the right, Lady Seafield again comes into possession of both banks of the Delfur water, which runs down for two miles; it is let to Colonel Ralph Vivian, and contains some very fine pools, notably the Hollen or Holly Bush, perhaps the finest pool to look at on the whole river, and certainly one of the best. The nature of this pool well shows the necessity for the Spey cast, for there are plenty of others with the same steep banks rising nearly sheer from the water side. In the illustration, the angler in the pool is on the open side of it and can use the overhead cast, which would be impossible if he was fishing from the opposite bank with the high cliff rising behind him. kelts and eight clean fish after twelve o'clock. A little below Hollen Bush is the Twa Stanes, in which pool was drowned a servant of the late Mr. Little Gilmour, who then owned this fishery; below this comes...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Salmon Rivers of Scotland: With Seventy-Two Full-Page Illustration and Three Maps In condensing into one book my four volumes of The Salmon Rivers of Scotland, want of space has necessitated the omission of the whole of the text illustrations, together with four chapters which endeavoured to deal with the salmon problems of the day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Salmon Rivers and Lochs of Scotland In preparing a second edition of this book, I have endeavoured to embody an account of such altered conditions as have come into being since 1909, when the book first appeared. It happens that, especially in the north of Scotland, many rivers have changed hands, for the War has had its influence upon even the peaceful sport of salmon fishing. Some of the changes have not materially altered matters or caused any modification in the fishings; and this is especially the case where tenants of long standing have now become proprietors. But in other instances an entirely new order of things has transpired. The rivers indeed flow on as before, but the anglers, aye and the ghillies one used to know upon the banks, the men who loved these scenes as all true Scotsmen love the land of their fathers, now lie in France or Gallipoli, or in even more distant graves. The records of catches in recent years have not always been easy to obtain, yet have been secured as far as possible. I desire here to thank all those who have so kindly assisted me in this way. Where records up to 1920 have not been available, former catches have been allowed to remain as indicative of angling value. At the same time I have embodied the various notes given me by those who, after reading the book in its earlier form, were good enough to add to or correct former records.

Download or read book Salmon written by Peter Coates and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, wild salmon travel hundreds of miles upstream. They fight fierce river currents, leap over rocks and small waterfalls, and die by the thousands of starvation, disease, and exposure to cold. Even if they surmount these obstacles, the fish risk becoming dinner for hungry predators like bears, birds, and humans. Guided by a keen sense of smell, the survivors travel to their original hatching grounds, where they breed, spawn, and quickly die. Salmon reveals this amazing life cycle to be just part of the larger story of these fascinating fish. The cultural life of salmon, Peter Coates explains, is rich with myths about “the king of fish,” from lands as diverse as Nova Scotia, Norway, Korea, and California. Coates’s history details the salmon’s cherished symbolic meaning as well as its current status as the ignoble product of fish hatcheries. Encompassing evolutionary, ecological, and cultural perspectives, Salmon is the perfect book for anyone who has ever eaten or tried to catch this delightful—and delectable—fish.
