The Tay is so big that in practically its whole course much
fishing has to be done by boat. The common practice is to " harl "
the large pools, this operation being carried out in greatest complete-
ness in the wide stretches of the lower ri-s'er. Two men commonly
row the boat, each rowing a pair of oars, and two anglers sit facing
the stern with two, or it may be three, rods out. One rod may
perhaps have a fly, another a gudgeon, and the third a phantom
minnow, or in early spring or late in the season three flies may l^e
on. When the lines are paid out the boatmen begin to row with
the bow pointing upstream, l3ut so as to allow the current to force
the boat slowly across the river. When sufflciently far across, the
bow is turned towards the first bank again and the current is made
to impinge mostly on the other bow, i.e. the boat's head is slightly
pointed for the return journey. At the same time the current
works the boat down-stream as far as the rowers allow. In this
manner a zig-zag course down the pool is taken. When a fish is
hooked the angler generally lands and the other lines are reeled up.
Cases sometimes occur of two fish being hooked almost simultaneously,
and then very naturally the fun is fast and furious. I have been
told a story of two rods being fast in the same fish, fly being the
lure, and that on the fish being landed the two flies were found in
the mouth. I may add that my informant, who was one of the
fishermen, assured me he knew I wouldn't believe him but that the
story was perfectly true.
