This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1864 edition. Excerpt: ... DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF ALL THE SALMON BOD-CASTS IN THE TWEED, INCLUDING THE NAMES OP PROPRIETORS. With very few exceptions, these casts have been corrected by the proprietors themselves; and, barring the changes that floods may have caused since the corrections were made, they will be found correct. From anglers and others well acquainted with the Tweed, in different districts, returns were also kindly sent in, bearing lists both of proprietors and casts, and from these the Editor had thus the whole casts thoroughly checked. Some of the statements did not tally exactly as to the proprietorship of the first or last cast in some fishings, but in cases where two proprietors made a claim, enquiry was made, and the correct name placed against such casts.

Salmon are occasionally taken with fly as high up as Biggar Water Foot; but hitherto poaching has been carried on so extensively in these higher waters, that the angler had seldom a chance of hooking a salmon unless immediately after a flood; but the better system of watching put into execution at the commencement of the close-time in 1862 may tend to improve the sport of the rodsman. Beginning about three miles above Peebles the casts come in order as follows: -- The Inch. In the middle of this pool there is a small island. Barn's Pool. Brown Knowe Goat. Long, or Mid Pool. The Wickers. Eddstone Heiich. Manor Foot. The land on the sonth side of these casts belongs to Earns and the Earl of Wemyss, and the north side, with the exception of a small haugh, also belongs to the Earl of Wemyss...
