A Recovered Salmon.

hccoNcrcu ohliHOn.
The following singular incident in
salmon fishing has just occurred; On
May II last, while fishing with Jock
Scot fly, tied for me by Messrs. For
rest, of Kelso, on small double hook
one and one-eighth inches long, hook
ed q salmon which, from what we saw
OF him when he rose and afterwards
my boatman-an experienced man
and myself Judged to be over twenty
pounds. / played him for more than
an hour in the pool in which he rose,
but he gradually gained his way down
ward TO tho tail-end of the pool, three
hundred (measured) yards from the
spot where he was hooked. Even here
| could not hold him. He got into the
rapid, making toward the pool below,
This second pool is some five hundred
yards distant from the first, at level
lower by about fifteen feet. Not able
to follow the fish on land we could only
follow him in the boat; but the boat,
once in the rapid, could only be steered
it could not be held. The fish was still
on three parts of the way down; but in
the last part we were beaten. When
we landed at the tail of the rapid there
was drag on the line upstream; it
was fast, immovably fast, in stone,
and, unable to be got at, it was ulti-
mately broken; and so were lost many
yards of line, the fly, and the fish.
Five days afterward, on the 10th. | was
fishingin the second pool above alluded
to, at quite the head of the pool, and, rs
there had been rain and the river was
slightly heavy and discolored, was
fishing with a large phantom. was
soon fast in fish, and, after about fif-
teen minutes, had him gaifed and land
ed; but, on going to take the phantom
out of his mouth, there, to the astonish-
ment of my boatman and myself, firm
ly fixed in his tongue by its double hook
was fly, a"Jock Scot" identical with
mine in size and make-in fact, un-
questionably the very fly had lost on
the 14th, and this was the fish that had
beaten me five days before. Weighed,
he was twenty-five pounds. Also,
strange to say, the gut-loop at the head
of the fly, when taken out of the fish's
mouth, was not only sound rs when
new, but was perfectly open and clear
of all remnant of the other gut by which
il was attached to the line, n remnant
that is often very difficult to remove;
and the fly itself, bar having lost its
golden-pheasant topping, is as good as
when it left Messrs. Forests hands.
