	River levels water height Scotland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Fish do not normally take well on a rising river, they may take well during the first few inches of a rising water whilst it is still clear but usually as soon as the water starts to colour they will stop biting and will remain difficult until the river level stablises.
		Scottish river levels at the under noted locations of particular interest to anglers are obtained from SEPA, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and these show show the change in river level over the last two to three days.
		An increase in river level is normally associated with rainfall in the catchments, however certain sites are subject to artificial control by, for instance, hydro power stations that may artificially influence the level of the river (see the Glass at Kerrow Wood).

	RIVER ANNAN REPORT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The river Annan rose to 3.5ft on Thursday, then fell in to 1ft8ins by Saturday but took on a horrible peaty hue, and athough salmon continued to run steadily for the past 3 days, they were reluctant to take and had little inclination to stop for anything.
		The river Annan was 2.5ft on Monday morning and rose to 4ft by late afternoon, and a good head of fish went over Newbie Cauld, although none were caught on the rising water.
		The river Annan was holding at about 8 inches for the first half of this week and the 5 anglers out at Newbie have had 26 sea trout to 3lb in the first 3 nights.

	The New York Times > International > Diplomacy: U.S. and U.N. Renew Quarrel Over Iraq
		Annan withdrew international staff members from Iraq in October 2003 in the wake of attacks on relief workers and the bombing of the United Nations' Baghdad headquarters, which killed 22 people, including the mission chief, Sergio Vieira de Mello.
		Annan's image in American eyes are the allegations of corruption and a cover-up in the scandal-ridden oil-for-food program and the intense anger on Capitol Hill at the refusal of the independent investigation headed by Paul A. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman, to share documents with the various Congressional committees conducting their own inquiries.
		Annan's office say they fear a return to the mood of the 1980's when the United States, the organization's single biggest donor, reacted to Congressional displeasure with the United Nations by withholding payments.

	Salmon Fishing in Scotland - River Annan
		Much of the human detail will have changed but the character of the rivers and lochs, and the trout and salmon in them, will be much the same as they have always been.
		Given water, the Annan can have runs of salmon and grilse from June onwards but the later months of September, October and November produce most of the annual salmon catch, which can be in the region of 800 fish.
		The Annan is also one of the best sea trout rivers in the south of Scotland, with catches of around 1500 in a good year, although, in common with other Solway rivers, the Annan has seen a worrying decline in sea trout stocks in the last few years.

		It defies reason and humanity to believe Israel determined to launch a lethal attack against the world body, but that was Annan's impulse, one obviously rooted in the animus that informs virtually all he says and does regarding Israel.
		Yet Annan is appalled, putting him in the same camp as the top Hezbollah man who admitted he never expected such Israeli fury.
		Annan's accusations against Israel are all the more odious because he is the chief of an organization that failed to implement Security Council Resolution 1559, which passed three years ago demanding the disbanding and disarmament of all militias in Lebanon and the control of the Lebanese government over all territory.

	PLACES TO FISH - Information on Fly Fishing in Scotland
		One of the best salmon and sea trout rivers in the south of Scotland, the river Annan is a spate river flowing southwards for 35 miles past Moffat, Johnstonebridge and Lockerbie before entering the Solway at Annan.
		As a result of pollution control, since the early nineteen eighties salmon and sea trout have been returning to the lower river and the stocks of migratory fish are improving year by year.
		The most prominent among the 14 angling clubs and associations on the river are the Strathspey Angling Improvement Association (based in Grantown) and the Abernethy Angling Association (based in Boat of Garten), controlling between them some 13 miles of prime fly fishing on the upper middle river.

		Its basin thence is a valley from 3 to 18 miles wide, which, at no distant geological period, must have lain under the sea, and now with a rich alluvial soil presents a soft and pastoral appearance.
