What is the next line of this poem

Let the Purist rejoice in the fly that he dries,
And look down on my practice with hauteur,
But for me the surprise
Of the flash of the rise........
The rosy brown wink under water
G.E.M. Skues

Loch Quine, or Quin or something like that? (Or in other words the broon troot water that lies at the far end of Fad?)

Given that answer it's obvious i haven't looked it up on Google  :z4

Thanks  :z16

Ok there are 13 waters (actually there's a couple more but first 13 will do) on the Orkney mainland worthy of the anglers serious attention.  Name them.

I went up to Orkney once when I was a kid (maybe 9 or 10 years old :?) for a fortnight - had mumps the first week :cry
But I remember fishing:
Stenness
Harray
Swannay
Boardhouse
Another wee loch which I don't recall.
So there's four of them :z6
