I am going to be fishing loch inch at the weekend for the first time and was wondering if i should fish my #5 rod or beef up to my #7 rod as a few folks have said i would need more ooomph than my #5.would be gratefull for any help cheers.

Paul,
Depends what you want to do....  but I'd take both    Set up the #5wt with a floater and/or intermediate with maybe some nymphs and set the #7wt up with a sinker and (ahemmm) a selection of brightly coloured fish attractors (lures  : ). If it's a tad chilly (which by all accounts it may well be by the w/end) then start with the #7 and if the fish come up switch rods and change tactics :idea:
Works for me

Use whatever you do at Haddo
The fish in insch dont fight as well as Mikes' and they are generally smaller
Only take the big gun if there is a real wind blowing, Insch is quite exposed in places and you may need the extra effort.

Go for fun, i have never been under gunned with my 3 wt out there,(haven't been for  a while) mind you back then they had lots of really cracking fish, its not quite the same these days apparently.

Have fun and remember the trout are just trout, nymphs and dries will work as well there as anywhere. Dont reach for the christmas decorations just yet, its only october :
