If I remember correctly, I think the Sana competition guys work to a max fly size of about 1" 1/8, or 1" 1/4, so I would imagine a guess of 1" 1/4 shouldn't be too far out?

4" refers to the specialist pike days they have from time to time.

Mike's got it with standard fishing at 1 1/4" to tie in with the Scottish Clubs rules.

Joker Played :z16
Another - who am I :?

I was a founding member of a well known organisation that introduced professional standards in angling instruction.

Although published in many fly fishing magazines I am more commonly associated with another branch of angling.

I am not Ally Gowans.

Good guess - but that's not who I'm thinking of.
An additional hint:
A northern European tackle manufacturer made this chap quite well off by buying out a brand he owned rights to in the UK. That might help figure it out :z17

Col Esmond Drury?  Had to think hard and kept thinking of rod manufacturers but then moved onto thinking what item of tackle transends all disiplines?  Answer hooks.  Then thought who'd have been around then?  Partridge aye but a brand not a person, Kate  :z4 Kamasan? def not, Drennan?  still too early, Esmond Drury though?  Aye he'd be around then.

Was a bait fisher before he was a fly fisher as well i believe?  :z8

Allan

Just in case i'm right (and before someone nips in with a joker card  :z4 i'll post this one (not to be answered if i'm wrong with Hamish's question though  :z4)

What is the correct name of the Scottish Train Station translated as 'Trout Burn Station' and where is it?
