Colditz maybe.... but Dundee (as I recall) you need papers to be allowed out :shock :! :z4

The loch in question is in a private glen with a bloody great dam at the end of a very, very long road. It's near me (Beauly) and it's very, very lovely there.
Now that's a dam (see what I did there :? :!) good series of clues.

H :cool:

The one at the end of the glen is not the one we fished but does sound like one of the ones the Dambusters attacked. And H is right, it's HUGE!

Is that the one at the top end of Beinn a Mheadhoin Euan? ...... The midgies are real friendly up there :z4

The dam at the bottom of Beannacharan, I think it's up at the top of the river Farrar? ...... also has midgies :z4

I'm guessing based on North, but please make allowances for the Kiwi incomer and yes ..... I have used Google to help me this time :oops

Cheers

Bullseye Mike.
Very tricky question, sorry guys. The closed glen thing has probably put a lot of people off going there, but trust me (and H), if you are up there get a ticket and fish it. Very pretty and not that bad at £45 for two anglers, boat and outboard.
I'll get on to the report for the week sometime tomorrow. And yes, more Alfa pics!  :z4 :z4 :z4

The dam at the top of the glen is the Loch Monar dam. The tarmac stops there, trust me! If you do go for a days fishing take a camera and go all the way to Loch Monar - Scotland at it's finest.

Main question: What is this fly called?

Out of interest: In your experience, does it work on the River Don and if so, how and when would you try it?

Silver Invicta?

I love invicta patterns - pearly bodied ones especially.

On the Don, as a wet fly in sizes 14 & 16 it's always been productive for me. Sea trout and finnock are especially fond of invicta patterns - guess it's the little flash.

I'd use an invicta as a hunting wet fly pattern, and have great faith that it would raise fish at any time of the year.

Correct Iain, it is a Silver Invicta :z16

I have a lot of confidence in this fly too :wink

Over to you for the next question :cool:

Right-oh, a 2 and a bit part musical question.

Theme tunes from british made TV shows about fishing.

Name each show, and the presenters.

1. http://www.adaa.org.uk/mystery-theme1.mp3
2. http://www.adaa.org.uk/mystery-theme2.mp3

and a sort of bonus question. This was a terrible show, and i'm ashamed I've watched each one
3. http://www.adaa.org.uk/mystery-theme3.mp3

I might or might not be lenient with naming on 1.

cheers

Correct show for 1 & 2 - and the presenters are?

Wrong for number 3. You were thinking of "Reel Wars", which I kinda enjoyed.
