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

[Allan Liddle]

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

[Graham Ritchie]

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

[Hamish Young]

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

[Allan Liddle]

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
Mike

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

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
 

[Offthebard]

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.
