Rid Trout.

Among the biggest trout captured
within recent history pride Of place
belongs to the monster of Loeb
Stennes, which weighed 20 pounds and
was caught on a hand line in 1889.
1t was one of those big trout which
have taken to salt or partially salt
water c'slob" or estuarine trout, and
the fine cast of 1t made by Mr.. Nal.
loch and now In the Fly Fishers club
shows that salt water agreed with it.
Another big trout was caught in Tough
Ennel in 1894. This weighed 26 pounds
and took a spoon bait.
The Irish lakes have yielded several
fish Of Is pounds or more in recent
years. A trout Of 81 pounds was
caught in Loeb Rannoch in 1904 by a
young lady, and in the same year a
youthful angler of ten got one in the
Test at Broadlands which weighed Is
pounds. The largest trout caught in
the southern streams OF late, how
ever, was the 1S-pounder from the
New river, which fell victim to a
lobworm in 1908. The record Thames
trout was caught in 1880 and weighed
16 pounds Is ounces.-Fr0m the Jour

with breaking into George Gerrish's
