Used to have great success with that on the Harray Loch in Orkney many years ago.

Thanks Jim, will do.

Anybody fished Loh Leven lately ? I used to be a regular but haven't fished it for about 5 years and fancy a day out. Any reports, flies, areas to fish ? Thanks in advance, Dennis

, well tied as usual. Used to be a great early fly at Loch Leven back in the 70's and 80's.

Nice. I don't think we have Koolaid in the UK. :thumbs::thumbs:

Nice, I like the look of that, think the ostrich herl definitely gives it that special something. Should give nice movement in the water. :thumbs::thumbs:

Great fly, well tied as usual. Been tying these this year with extra fine silver UV straggle fritz, it looks good and works. :thumbs::thumbs:

Absolutely stunning. :thumbs::thumbs:

I use a battery charger I bought from Lidls (approx £14) more than three years ago and charge my batteries with that. Both batteries (85Ah and 120Ah) are in great condition and have never let me down. I also use a 10W solar panel via a charge controller for another battery (85Ah) at my...

It's a 15mm translucent jelly style fritz. I bought 50 metres from TyeRite, cut it into 2-3m lenghts and dye it myself in whatever colour I need. That particular colour was deadly tied as a blob at Linlithgow last year. Dye is fluorescent safety orange bought from Dharma dyes in the USA. Huge...
