Found one, still in my fly vest pocket ..... Steve's sense of humour was legendary :z4

Apart from being smaller, neater and generally better fitting, what is the main difference between Roman Moser braided loops and others on the market?

You may not have even noticed, but it is the one feature that others have struggled to copy.

They are double walled, so the line can thread through to the loop itself, minimising hinging.

Yep, good feature/benefit Graham :z16 but easy enough to copy and not the one that I was looking for this time I'm afraid.

Clue ...... it's not so much what they do, but rather what they don't do :wink

I was looking for 'they don't seem to fray at the ends' like others do.
Something that has often left me wondering how :z8

They are coated in a thin layer of wax to stop them fraying at the ends.

What is the northernmost river for grayling fishing in Scotland?
I don't actually know the answer to this one, so I will have to take your word for it  :z4

I think the Dean may be slightly further north. I am not 100% sure though.

Hi Mike
It's generally (and officially) regarded as being the Tummel as the most northern Scottish water with Grayling present, however unofficially i have heard they are also in the Garry after being introduced there a few years back.

Not sure if i've posted this question before:

How close to the Atlantic would you be if you were standing at the western most point of a water that would ultimately drain into the North Sea?

I would  guess you'd be on one of the feeder burns for Loch Shin which would put you 4 or 5 miles from the Atlantic.
