Had a bit of a rough time this year with various different things so have just booked a week off work in August next year and booked accommodation on South Uist so time to get filling the boxes and doing some research into some lochs to go visit.😁

Cheers Mike,

Just finished the box. A cheeky selection of tens and twelves to chuck at wild brownies in the lochs next season.

If you like Geirach style of writing do get your hands on a book by James Babb. His wit is very similar to Geirach and being editor of Gray's Sporting Journal is a highly talented writer.
Sandy, another Harry Middleton book for you to read over Winter. Again a talented write who sadly died quite young

Thank you, Mike.

Hi Scott, welcome to the forum 

Thanks for the introduction, you will have lots of great water to explore and enjoy on the upper river.

Looking forward to your posts and crossing paths on the banks.

Cheers
Mike

Hi Sandy,

That's great. I will drop you a dm at some point. I have been looking at your post and you have taken some beautiful pictures,.

It's making me want to move now!

All the best,

Scott.

Hi Scott

Welcome to the forum.  I would live in Glenkindie too, if I didn’t have to go to dyce for Work.  As it is I have based myself in Alford so I can cover all the good bits of river within 30mins drive. I fish the upper river a lot on various beats so I will no doubt bump into you at times.  I do prefer it from Alford upstream as you can pretty much cover every fish you spot.
Send me a PM if you want to ask anything specific
 

Sandy

Great stuff Eddie, sounds like you're off to a good start 

Post a few pics if you have time, it's always interesting to see what everybody is tying.

Not sure about the books for this winter yet but the fly tying bit is well under way. I have 5 black and peacock spiders left to do in a box of 100 loch wets for next season. On to dries and nymphs next.
