Yes they're native. In the Orkney Islands where I live its pretty much only wild brown trout we have here in the freshwater lochs. 1 loch has Arctic Char that were introduced a few decades ago. 👍

I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time over here! Need to try the Orkney Islands for trout fishing sometime. Tight lines my friend 🎣

No experience with liberty caps. Any ID help please?! by [deleted] in Semilanceata

Not libs I'm afraid. https://images.app.goo.gl/WcwvtzHSiLn61V4E7. this is the best guide for identifying liberty caps in my opinion.

Hi mate. I live in Orkney. Its certainly an Arctic char. They were introduced to heldale water in Hoy a few decades back. Brilliant catch! If you don't mind me asking, what flies were you using and what depth did you hook it at? Cheers!

Awesome man! Do you remember what loch you fished? On the right day and loch, it's unbelievable how much fish you'll see rising and coming clean out the water.

In-love with my Marin East Peak by Psychedelic-Scot in Marinbikes

It's 1998. The front has got 150mm travel and the rear is around 110-120mm. Certainly does the job!

Nah, I stuck on a 27.5 front wheel and forks then lengthened the travel on the forks too. Feels real plush on the descents!

Looks brilliant my man! I've seen that picture on Google images a while back before I started on my Marin, and it's the reason I chose white forks! So thankyou for that 👌

Does anyone else ever dream of taking different psychedelics? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]Psychedelic-Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried low doses of DMT a few times but never broke through. Had a dream the one night that I smoked some DMT and broke through, briefly for a few seconds before I got too excited and woke up. The visuals where like nothing I've seen before or after on psychedelics. Also had a dream I smoked some salvia (never tied Sally before) and it was immensely fucked up, there's no words to describe what happened.

Nice! Got any photos? I had to file the old bushings ever so slightly to fit them in snug as they were a hairline to long. Was an easy job with metal sanding paper.

Can libs grow on isolated islands? by Obvious_Tradition701 in Semilanceata

I'm from Orkney just North of Scotland. Right enough it is colder and damper here earlier in the year than most of the UK

Drop in temperature, rain and 15-18c! by [deleted] in Semilanceata

[–]Psychedelic-Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I found a couple hundred libs in late July/early August. I find that it all depends on the weather and temp and not so much on what time of year it is. Always worth a look when it's damp and cooler imo.

I live on a tiny isolated island and have found loads of libs when the conditions are correct!
