This is the home of Loch Style angling and Lesley will be happy to show you this
technique which normally involves working a cast of two or three flies
on a light carbon fibre rod capable of casting across strong winds 9 -
10ft is the norm. Bring matching floating line (normally WF7) and 4lbBS
nylon. We also use dry fly and nymphs especially on shallower lochs and
some rivers, again with floating line. You can also bring intermediate
and ghost tip lines as these are often used by local anglers in testing
conditions.
Essential items of Kit
Lightweight kit, do not weigh yourself down with heavyweight gear, there can be a long walk involved to reach the water and then to fish around it. A Few Flies for Caithness & Sutherland Waters Some of the most successful traditional patterns used in the Northern highlands have rarely altered since they first came into use long hence. Invictas, Zulu's and Soldier Palmers are just as productive as they were one hundred years ago and you should always have some of these in size 10 and 12 along with Kate McLaren, Pennels, Hares Ear, Green Drake and the excellent Bumble range. Read on for a couple of patterns I have found highly useful for local lochs. |
