About Me
- Flynut
- Glasgow, United Kingdom
- Mad about flyfishing in Scotland. I will try to catch anything that swims, but my main passion is salmon and sea trout fishing, particularly on my favourite big rivers such as the Spey, or, on a smaller scale the Teith in Stirling. I have fished all the great Scottish rivers such as Tay, Tweed and Spey with mixed success, as well as Scotland's great lochs such as Menteith, Lomond and Leven for their stunning trout and sea trout. In these pages you can share in all my angling adventures, whether on my own or in the company of some of my great fishing friends. We hope you will enjoy sharing our triumphs (not many), or laughing at our incompetent efforts at catching these great fish. Either way, enjoy. Tight lines!

At last a salmon
A salmon at last! Been trying hard for a fish this season but no luck until last Friday when I was fishing cambusmore on the River Teith. A lovely stretch this, but I was on the usually less productive of the four beats, number 4. The river was at 1'9" and looked in great condition. Fishing a mix of spinner and fly I hadn't even seen a fish when I headed down to plasterers, which was best spun in this height. A few casts of my blue and silver spoon soon brought a solid take from a nice 11lb fish, which was soon brought to hand. After admiring it I attempted to return it to the river, but unfortunately after 10 min it seemed it wasn't going to recover and so it was kept for smoking, perfect for xmas! Shortly after, I managed to hook a near identical fish, but had my drag set too tight and lost it after it threw the hook, ah well. All in all a good day, and here's hoping a few more before the end of the season, which seems ever closer!
