Information for the Fly Fisherman 


In this section, I hope to publish items of general fly fishing interest. The items included will naturally reflect my experience of fly fishing in Scotland and may be of some interest to those in other parts of the fly fishing world.  Extracts from my fishing log, together with fly fishing-related photographs will give a flavour of the fishing here. I will try to include as much information as I can on places to fish in Scotland, concentrating on those rivers and lochs which are open to the average fly fisherman through the purchase of a season, weekly or day permit - the type of waters which I have always fished.

I will also illustrate my favourite fishing knots, list some of the fishing books which I have enjoyed and found useful, describe the origins and development of the needle fly . I will include a selection of salmon recipes and keep an eye open for interesting web sites to pass on.

Please visit from time to time as I will try to add items fairly regularly. That's the plan anyway!

 

FLY FISHING SIDELINES

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.

Places to Fish - Fly Fishing in Scotland

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.

 

 

 
 

Fishing Photos - Fly Fishing Pictures

Photographs I have taken over the years of fish and fishing places, relating mainly to fly fishing in Scotland.

The Fly Box - New Fly Fishing Flies

Fly fishing flies and fly tying. For the fisherman/tyer who likes to try something new, I will list here flies which I have found worth trying as a change from the traditional favourites. To begin, I describe the origins and development of the NEEDLE FLY, which I devised to tempt late night sea trout (sewin) on the River Earn in Perthshire.

A series of fly fishing knots. How to tie fishing knots for all fly fishing situations.
