THE HEBRIDEAN FLY BOX

If you are heading to the Highlands & Islands to fish for Salmon, Sea Trout and Wild Brown Trout these are the flies to bring. Make two fly 'Hebridean Casts' with them. Something bushy on a dropper and a slimmer fly on the point is an ideal tactic to tempt any Gamefish. Smaller flies on the loch will tempt Salmon when larger flies fail. Of course on another day the larger flies will work! The flies tied on Kamasan hooks are ideal for all gamefish. The fine wire specials are intended for light line (AFTM #4) Wild Trout Fishing.

Further down the page are flies to tempt fish feeding near the bottom

HEB BOX MUDDLER #10

Muddler Minnow

Use on the point in big wave when stripping a fly will bring fish up. Or try as an outsize bob fly - it will attract the fish - they might not take it but prefer something smaller on the point

Sea trout special.

Wild Brown Trout Patterns

DRYFLIES

These are tied on fine wire hooks which although stronger than they look need to be used with care. On most days a #4 weight line is heavier enough to cast - even in high wind - a light soft top 9ft rod and 2lb leaders result in few lost fish and lots of fun!

CDC DEER CADDIS

CDC Deer Caddis

This is the first fly to try in a ripple. The longer shank hooks is easier to un-hook and ideal for catch and release.

This fly will bring fish up even if they are not rising.

1 x Natural Deer Caddis LS#14 - 45p each

STRAGGLER FW15

Straggler #14

Lots of leggy flies in the Highlands and Islands of which the Daddy Long Legs is king.

Tied with lots of straggle and long hackles this fly bounces of the waves - just like the natural.

This fly works better than prettier Daddy patterns. Again good in a wave or ripple.

1 x Straggler #14 - 40p

The next two are for flat calms and light ripple conditions.

2018 DARK MIDGE #16 WILD FLY PHANTOM MIDGE

Long Legged Midges

Tied on Longshank #16 hooks these are first choice when fish are choosy. It has a happy knack of picking up larger fish.

Tied in two shades - light and dark

1 x Light Long Legged Midge LS#16 - 45p

1 x Dark Long Legged Midge LS#16 - 45p

2018 RWF OLIVE

'F' Fly #16

This is tied on a small hook and works when all else fails. Cast into the area where fish are rising and leave. The fish are usually on the cruise and will - with luck - find it!

1 x CDC 'F' Fly #16 - 45p each

What to do when fish will not take Dryflies?

All fish spend more time feeding on the bottom of waters than near the surface. Try these weighted flies to fish deeper with with the same #4 outfit you used to present the dryflies.

INT GB DAMSEL 11

Goldbead Damsel Nymph

Great search pattern to try when fish will not come up. Cast across wind and let the drift fish the fly. Retrieve line to keep in touch with the fly rather than move it.

1 x Goldbead (3mm) Damsel Nymph #10 - 50p

1 x Goldbead (2.5mm) Damsel Nymph #12 - 50p
