In contrast to the
traditional fly selections, we offer a Needle Fly Kit, to enable the fly
tier to make his own needle flies for salmon and sea trout fishing. This is
a new fishing fly design devised primarily for sea trout (sewin) fishing but
it has also proved to be effective for salmon fly fishing. The kit comes
complete with two sample needle flies, essential components and
instructions.
In this section I hope to
publish items of interest to the fly fisher, based on my experience of fly
fishing in Scotland. Please visit from time to time as I intend to add items
on a regular basis.
I list here information
on the fly fishing waters of Scotland which I have fished over a number of
years. I list only rivers and lochs where the fishing is predominantly
natural i.e. fly fishing waters containing a wild, indigenous stock of game
fish, including brown trout, sea trout, salmon and grayling.
Photographs I have taken over
the years of fish and fishing places, relating mainly to fly fishing in
Scotland.
