BROWN TROUT FISHING

Scotland has a vast array of rivers and lakes (known as lochs) containing small, perfectly formed, feisty, wild brown trout. Fish usually average somewhere between 1/4lb - 1 1/2lb, however there is always a chance of a specimen over 3lb. When fly fishing on rivers, a 9ft 4wt/5wt is usually the go to rod when fishing with wet and dry flies, however when euro-nymphing, a 10ft 3wt is usually the preferred choice. A selection of caddis, stone-fly, shrimp and mayfly patterns are all good options to have in the fly box. When fishing on lochs, the go to rods tend to be anything from a 9ft 5wt - 10ft 7wt. Floating lines tend to be used the majority of the time, however it is always good to have a selection of sinking lines. Flies like hoppers, mini lures and buzzers tend to be the go to patterns.

SALMON FISHING

These mysterious fish don’t eat following their return back to fresh water, therefore there are numerous theories as to why a salmon would ever take a fly. The truth is, no one knows for sure, however when they do, you should be prepared for some reel screaming action from these hard fighting fish. There are certainly no guarantees in catching salmon, however it's all about the experience of being in the homeland of where double handed, spey casting began. The challenge, the fight and the fish themselves, is what keeps anglers hankering for more. If you are lucky enough for one of these magnificent fish to grab your fly, you could it expect the fish to weigh anywhere between 4lb-30lb. with the average weight around 10lb
