finally heading out to Haddo tomorrow to wet a line with the 3wt. Very excited. But a quick scan of my fly box told me that if it was a day for using lures then I was going to have a problem. Something tells me that a 3wt line isn't going to turn over a extra long shank size six with a tungsten cone. So i made a few like these
a couple of wooly buggers with 2.8mm tungsten beads which should get them down nicely.
I also tied a few snatcher sort of thingys.
And a nice wee spider. On a size 16, I've no idea how people tie on smaller than that!
fingers crossed I have some luck given the weather forecast!
cheers
Matt
