On the Spey, which three pools once belonged to Rothes but are now part of Arndilly?

[Allan Liddle]

Dunno Graham    Should do as well given i've fished it.  Long Pool one of them? 

Allan

[Graham Ritchie]

The Long Pool is still part of Rothes, I guess the question was too hard. The pools are Bulwarks, Jock's Tail and Gilmores.

[Hamish Young]

I've yet to fish the Spey, so a tough one for me to have answered without 'googling' a cheat

Go on Graham, try another

[Allan Liddle]

I was just away to say that as well Graham. 

Ok give's another one, no as hard this time.

[Mike Barrio]

How would you go about making up a home tied tapered leader, for fishing size 12 to 14 wet flies for example?

What diameters, lengths and knots would you use etc?

Cheers
Mike

[Dutchfly]

Hi Mike,

I'd stick to Charles Ritz's Rafale method (60% butt, 20% belly, 20% tippet). For wet fly fishing on the lochs I use a leader of 9 or 10 ft, butt 0,55 mm and a tip 0,18 mm. Nothing fancy, but does the job for me.

Regards,

Jeroen

8/6/4, I use this most of the time to make up a 9ft-6in cast,no more than 2lb difference between material, does me

[Barry Robertson]

I would normally fish a 18ft leader when fishing wets.
9ft from my braided loop to the top dropper then 4 ft to mid dropper dropper then 5ft to the point fly.
Last time out fishing for browns i fished 9.5lbs grand max straight through with no tapered leader
 

[Offthebard]

Straight through 10' x 6Lb Maxima/Ultima. 6'-2'-2'.

Seatrout waters 6' 8lb Maxima/Ultima, 2' 6lb, 2'6lb.

Rivers a different ball game.
