Excerpt from The Salmon Rivers of Ireland, Vol. 1
Neither have I recommended ghillies or tackle makers by name. Of the former an angler can but employ one at a time, and if there are several attached to a fishery, all' making their living at it, an angler who gives the name of the ghillie who attended him during his visit and departing lauds him to the skies in print, will only make all the anglers who follow desirous of getting that particular genius, while if they cannot secure him they will think the one that is available must be inferior, although, likely enough, the others are just as good, and perhaps better.
