Cracking photo of the Ardtannes and what a difference the new path has made.  Excellent work.

New path is looking great, not sure how it will stand up to flooding, but a huge improvement if it works  :z16

One from many moons ago ..... Brown's tackle shop of Aberdeen.

Lots of interesting information about the history of fishing tackle makers and retailers of Aberdeen here: http://www.feathersfliesandphantoms.co.uk/

I remember it well buying springs and Pellets for my Air Riffles when I was a young teen

those are some chunky mounted salmon...

Happy to Pose (Then the thought is my phone waterproof 😀)🎣🎣


David Thursz

What are the 3 flies in today's Forum Featured Photo please?

I assume they are a trout fly and appear to be tied on Waddington irons. I find this intriguing as the use of Waddingtons for Salmon flies seems to have substantially died out certainly where I mainly fish.

Mike Barrio

Yes David, Waddingtons from Magnus :z16

Not sure how popular they are nowadays, but I'd certainly fish them for Salmon.

An old table lamp and vice, both were broken, but they make a great combination  >)

This simple bit of kit served me well for many years in the fishery hut and produced a lot of flies.
