NETTING, LEGAL AND ILLEGAL, OBSTRUCTIONS AND POLLUTIONS. The bag and stake nets that fish round the Scotch coasts have been so numerously increased, and so improved in construction, that unless some limit is placed by law on their numbers, they must slowly but surely exhaust the supply of sea trout and salmon; for, notwithstanding that the number of the nets has been doubled during the last twenty years, the close time has remained the same! Therefore if, when there were only one thousand nets working on the coasts, it was thought necessary to provide a close time of thirty-six hours each week, surely it follows, now that there are two thousand nets at work, that the close time should be extended to meet the increase of the nets, and until this is done, the greater will be the falling off each season. There are other causes contributing to the yearly decrease of the salmon fisheries, such as the non-observance of the weekly close time, poaching by scringers, by steam trawlers, and by yachts. Badly drawn estuary lines and absurdly fixed close times also contribute to the decay; but the bag nets are the chief source of evil. Before going further, it will be as well to describe the working of these nets and the small difference that exists between the two kinds. A bag net consists of a piece of net from eighty to one hundred yards long and from six to eight feet in width, which is stretched from the shore at right angles to the bottom of the ocean, and terminates at the sea end in a box or bag of net; this long net is called the lead, and it and the bag are kept taut and in fishing position and Moating in deep water by leverage gained from a purchase on buoys moored to various anchors. In some places these nets are used singly, ..

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...

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...

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.

This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ANDROS, SIR EDMUND (1637-1714), English colonial governor in America, was born in London on the 6th of December 1637, son of Amice Andros, an adherent of Charles I., and the royal bailiff of the island of Guernsey. He served for a short time in the army of Prince Henry of Nassau, and in 1660-1662 was gentleman in ordinary to the queen of Bohemia (Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James I. of England). He then served against the Dutch, and in 1672 was commissioned major in what is said to have been the first English regiment armed with the bayonet. In 1674 he became, by the appointment of the duke of York (later James II.), governor of New York and the Jerseys, though his jurisdiction over the Jerseys was disputed, and until his recall in 1681 to meet an unfounded charge of dishonesty and favouritism in the collection of the revenues, he proved himself to be a capable administrator, whose imperious disposition, however, rendered him somewhat unpopular among the colonists. During a visit to England in 1678 he was knighted.
