As title
Just wondering do any other members share this interest!
Been doing it myself for approx 20 years for mostly trout.
 
i had a go at it a few years back but never got the swing of it hah.. i used to fish for trout and the odd pike in the random lakes round my way..
 
tried it when i was younger, was **** at it though :p
 
id prefer a bit of bate fishing didnt really like recasting every few minutes.
 
yea I have done Fly fishing for about 15 years now. I love it! Fish for mostly trout aswell but I would take anything that came my way! lol :)

I'm very eager to catch my first Sea trout tho!!
 
going on a days sea fishing in june, never been before should be cool :)

do your research and you will be rewarded with a sea trout bud.

fished few lakes in Scotland myself...Lough Leven,Morton etc few years back.

good to see you other members have "wet a line" in other forms of fishing also,welll most of us do have a go in life at some stage or other.

fly fishing is the way to go thou,nothing beats a fit trout taking off when hooked and you feel everything right back to the rod.
and when the trout has v tec!.......even better :blabla:

if anybody is interested in swopping a few "killer" patterns drop me a pm :nice:
 
Not fly fishing but I do enjoy a spot of normal fishing myself!

I'd love to have a go at fly fishing... But I imagine it's hard!

I will do mate thanks! :) I have been fishing the River Tyne and River Tweed for a sea trout so far but no such luck! :( I will keep plugging away!:thanks:

Yea I have fished leven, mentieth, butterstone, Frandy but the main Loch I fish is Loch Ruskie. Just trout in it. I caught a lovely Tiger Trout there last year!!:D

I used to sea fish but got bored! Like you say nothing beats a fit trout taking off when hooked and you feel everything right back to the rod!!!:win:

A trout with vtec! lol

I will think of a few "killer" patterns and get back to you bud! Cheers:thanks:
 
so you fish the mighty Tweed then! lucky man.

im more a lake man but if given the chance to fish a river like that would be a great experience.

even if you have the tying for good flies that be great as i have been tying my own for as long as i have been fly fishing.

yes thats right,robbie was at me last time about getting a day out.

out last night for few hours at the rainbows,bit slow at first but picked up and had approx 10 on the dries,so was happy enough.

deffo get a day out with you two,poss "craigmore" or the likes as that be near you.
 
craigmore isn't as good as it once was, kilgad is fishing well!!

keep the dries small, CDC is the best size 18-22 are killers!!
