The salmon OF the Dee.


The Dee is wonderfully full of salmon
In 1851 Pope Nicholas V chad he tray

ly sanctioning fishing for salmon in the
Dee on Sundays. The Pope, however
stipulated that the first salmon taken on
a Sunday should be presented to the par.

buked. Still the fshingis at the present
day capricious and uncertain.
In summer weather the stream will
run too shallow for fishing. When the
waters rise, the fish rise too, The salmon
are curious fish, reminding us of the
fables told of the ostrich: when they
hide their heads they seem to suppose
themselves safe. In these waters the
angler can see the bodies of large sal
mon projecting from sunken rocks, the
head being hidden away, and can ap.
proach without disturbing them. You
may see very fine salmon in the Aber-
deem market which have been taken
from the Dee, though the highest prizes
of the rod have not recently been taken
from its waters.
