Bushy Bob Flies for Hill Loch Fish


A wee flytying vice to moist web catch report from our Supervisor Thomas.

High Crew

After tying up a set of Clan Chief and some different traditionals when the storms have been blowing final week, it could be impolite to not take them for a swim. It was time for a run up the native hill loch to seize an hour or two eventually gentle, it is a beautiful spot with views over the Trossachs and the Clyde Estuary.

To maximise my probabilities of catching, I might most likely spend extra time strolling than casting, masking as a lot water as I may whereas the fish have been feeding however earlier than the solar set. It is nicely well worth the effort although so I picked out a crew of moist flies with a Clan Chief, Kate McLaren & Black Pennel, all tied on a depressing, windy weekend in anticipation of discovering fish up within the water on a beautiful summer time night. 

High Dropper

Pulling flies on a floating line with a light-weight ripple on the water is nearly as good because it will get, even higher when the fish are eager. The highest dropper simply sits within the floor movie and causes a little bit of disturbance after which bang because it all goes tight. Typically I will add wee little bit of Gink to assist it sit up within the water, however with or with out the floatant the fuzzy Clan Chief was actually the standout sample, catching 7 of the 8 fish banked.

One among our Mail Order crew members fishes on the islands and swears by a Clan Chief, a Goat’s Toe and Loch Ordie because the go-to flies in Harris. He acquired a sample years in the past from god is aware of the place, that’s a little bit of a combo of the chief and the toe it with a wrap or two of the peacock neck, appears a cracking fly although!

Thomas’s Tying Setup

It’s exhausting to beat pairing up conventional patterns which have stood the take a look at of time with trendy gear, persistently performing fly strains and fortunately an efficient midge repellent because the solar units over the hills.
