On the Spey, which three pools once belonged to Rothes but are now part of Arndilly?

« **Reply #481 on:** 10/04/2011 at 21:34 »

Dunno Graham

Should do as well given i've fished it. Long Pool one of them?

Allan

« **Reply #482 on:** 10/04/2011 at 22:32 »

The Long Pool is still part of Rothes, I guess the question was too hard. The pools are Bulwarks, Jock's Tail and Gilmores.

« **Reply #483 on:** 11/04/2011 at 08:48 »

I've yet to fish the Spey, so a tough one for me to have answered without 'googling' a cheat

Go on Graham, try another

I was just away to say that as well Graham.

Ok give's another one, no as hard this time.

How would you go about making up a home tied tapered leader, for fishing size 12 to 14 wet flies for example?

What diameters, lengths and knots would you use etc?

Cheers

Hi Mike,

I'd stick to Charles Ritz's Rafale method (60% butt, 20% belly, 20% tippet). For wet fly fishing on the lochs I use a leader of 9 or 10 ft, butt 0,55 mm and a tip 0,18 mm. Nothing fancy, but does the job for me.

Regards,

Jeroen

8/6/4, I use this most of the time to make up a 9ft-6in cast,no more than 2lb difference between material, does me

I would normally fish a 18ft leader when fishing wets.
9ft from my braided loop to the top dropper then 4 ft to mid dropper dropper then 5ft to the point fly.
Last time out fishing for browns i fished 9.5lbs grand max straight through with no tapered leader

« **Reply #489 on:** 12/08/2011 at 12:28 »

Straight through 10' x 6Lb Maxima/Ultima. 6'-2'-2'.

Seatrout waters 6' 8lb Maxima/Ultima, 2' 6lb, 2'6lb.

Rivers a different ball game.
