Salmon and sea trout angling "has been taking place on the Outer Hebridean islands of Lewis, Harris and the Uists since the early nineteenth century. The islands boast some superlative rivers, lochs and streams, in particular the Grimersta, where Mr. A.M. Naylor landed an all time record catch of 54 salmon in one day on the 28th August 1888." This book provides "an insight into the history of salmon and sea-trout angling on Lewis and Harris from the early Victorian period until the present day. A wide variety of subjects are covered ranging from the principal rivers and streams and the conservation and protection of salmon to poaching and the employment of gillies, and current angling access arrangements on the various island fisheries."
