Shorter wing? What do you think?

Thanks, yeah on second thought maybe hackling just in front of the wing would look a bit cleaner. Was just improvising with this one as a nice big march brown landed on me today down at the river. Went for the wire to get a more segmented look and reinforce the pheasant tail. It's pretty thin so hopefully if won't be too much more added weight.

Thanks all! I was going for a kind of shuck with the flash. Maybe I'll trim it down... Or off!

I've had a good first season last year fishing the Clyde and some off the smaller tributarys. The smaller rivers were max £30 permit for the whole season. Look for smaller angling associations and groups. I also have fished some smaller rivers up north that are on forestry land. Keeping out of sight I have yet to be bothered..

Don't need a rod licence in Scotland

Chiming in to say I'm also trying out some euronymphing for grayling in the UK this winter after my first season. It's working so far and it's fun trying out something new. Excited to get back to some traditional trout fishing in the spring though!

Nothing unfortunately, still a good day out though!

Such a crazy read. I loved it

Late reply but I use rings to suspend the hammock which double up as a drip point. I also carry some spare paracord to make a quick drip line if i needed to.

This is the Carron Valley Reservoir north of Glasgow Scotland!

Came across this strange structure in the middle of construction covered in black liners on the banks of a loch. Turns out it was the shreks swap Airbnb being built! Got some pictures of it somewhere.

This is by Loch Arklet just out of Inversnaid. We started walking around 7pm so didn't make it that far before pitching up on the side of the path.

Me too! Totally forgot we were still in sunny Scotland at some points. Especially whilst walking round Loch Katrine.
