Tweed, at this time, was full of trout, but even then they were not easy to catch. One difficulty lay in the nature of the wading. There is a pool near Ashiesteil and Gleddis Weil which illustrated this. Here Scott and Hogg were once upset from a boat while "burning the water" spearing salmon by torchlight. Herein, too, as Scott mentions in his Diary, he once caught two trout at one cast.
