Here you can access a series of fishing articles, based
on my fishing experiences in Scotland. The subject
matter will be varied but will focus particularly on fly
fishing for trout, salmon and sea trout in Scotland, the
fishing flies used and how to tie them, the loch and
river locations, and the methods employed. The fishing
articles will be grouped according to species, e.g.
salmon, trout or sea trout, or by subject matter, e.g. fly
tying.
The
fishing articles, accessible from the links below,
relate to a wide variety of fishing subjects. There are
salmon fishing topics such as Spey casting; salmon
fishing on the Rivers Spey, Ness, Nairn and Dulnain; a
discussion of salmon fly hooks; the merits of catch and
release; the making of a wading stick and other items of
tackle. Sea trout fishing topics include a guide to sea
trout fishing in the British Isles; Sea Trout flies and
tackle; fishing days and nights on Scottish rivers such
as the Endrick, Earn, Avon and Spey; Tying sea trout
flies. There are trout fishing articles on highland
trout fishing; Flies for the River Clyde; the merits and
demerits of artificial stocking. There are fly tying
articles covering new developments such as Gray's Needle
Tubes; step by step illustrations of tying traditional
salmon and sea trout flies such as the Stoat's Tail,
Ally Gowans's Cascade, the Magus and a variety of other
needle tube flies for Atlantic salmon fishing and sea
trout fishing; Tying tube flies for Steelhead; a new
needle tube fly vice; slim needle flies and needle tubes

fly lines; photographs of the River Spey; the new
Spinhead and much more on Scottish game fishing.
