It's been a while since I posted something here, but I regularly looking so I still feel connected...
Has a bit of a gap in my motivation in regards to flyfishing (lost my job and other things...) but bit by bit it's coming back.
Next to that an old passion of mine popped up again... Bushcraft. I really love being outdoors trying to enjoy nature in the most possible primitive way (as I'm getting older, the primitive part is becoming questionable though....
).
A good friend is organizing different course and trip to Scotland and we came up with the idea of combining bushcraft and flyfishing and make a concept for a course. Our goal is to get people involved in the basics of (primitive) fishing and bushcraft. All of this on a low budget base... (yes we're still dutch...). The fishing part 'has to be planned' by me. And that where I like to ask you some questions if I may.
The target areas would be the Cairngorms, the Dee-area or the Spey-area. Preferably our target fish would be wild brown trout (or any other trout species...).
We would like to practice primitive fishing skills like 'long-line' fishing and fishing with pods, all self made from natural materials. The flyfishing should be low cost also, so the salmon river parts are out of our league I guess....
Time of year: Spring or Fall (Fall would be my choice...)
I would love to hear your ideas and suggestions on it (being good or 'bad'...) And if you have suggestions for websites where to look... please do so.
Oh... it's a non-profit thins so it's going to be cost neutral...
Hope you can give some direction to my thoughts....
