- you need to get yourself a book. it called fly fishing, by J.R.HARTLEY.
- black and peacock spider ,black pennel ...tight lines ;) Xxxx
- my all time fav fly is the name of the month you use it.... MARCH BROWN !
- seriously those scottish trout will have anything ! black and peacock spider ,black pennel ,teal and black,blae and black ,poacher and orange ,dunkeld ,black nymphs such as the black midge pupae ,all retrieved in a figure of eight pattern real slow ,on a floating line ,just watch the end of your line for any sudden movements ,tight lines ...
- There are lots you can use, firstly a team of diawl Bach's and bibios fished on a 12ft fluorocarbon leader and on times i have used a muddler as a point fly, but not often, fish it on a sink tip or an intermediate line. Then the favorite of many anglers the washing line set up. Two droppers and a floating point fly, for a point fly a coral booby is an excellent fly to try, for droppers i like skinny buzzers and epoxy buzzers, a jerky slow retrieve works best here, use a co-polymer leader for this. I suggest you try a fishing magazine such as trout fisherman for more advice and whats best at the moment. Also when a mayfly hatch is present you may want to try a dry mayfly fished slowly and singly on a floating line in late afternoon.
