for all u salmon fisherman out there i ask u this one question what is ur favourite set up e.g. flie ,line ,rod ect. for rivers like the dee and the don at this time of year ?????

[Graham Ritchie]

It would depend on the water level, but at the moment a floating line with a 5ft sinking polyleader and a size 10 or 12 Cascade or Silver Ally's would be a good bet.

does anyone fish with something other than one of Ally's flies these days??

[Hamish Young]

Yup - me. Probably why I don't catch much  Actually, it's probably more down to the fact I don't go out for the silver tourists as much as I'd like to 

I do have an assortment of Ally variants kicking around, but generally I still prefer to use other tried and tested patterns like stoats tails, assorted squirrel patterns and other hair wing flies first. Simply as I have more confidence in them, doesn't mean they're any better (or worse) than any of Allys flies

ive found that pink grayling bugs work for salmon
