Rob,
I used to make the IPN for Richard Walker in King street many years ago so it would be unfair of me to answer the rest of the question but I would ask you this. How can you tell an original IPN from an imitation?

Eddie

[Rob Brownfield]

How can you tell an original IPN from an imitation?

Good question...perhaps we should add that to the original question

[Eddie Sinclair]

Rob,
go ahead and add that to your original question.

Eddie.

[Steven Sinclair]

Idiot proof nymph.

Red thread underneath the fritz body which was wrapped sparsely to allow the thread to show through.

Cheers

Steven.

[Eddie Sinclair]

Steven,
you are almost right. Try and remember the colour.

Eddie.

[Steven Sinclair]

Hmmm I'd always tied them with red but that may have had something to do with never bloody listening to you :-P

Ok I'll go with orange...

Cheers,

Steven.

[Steven Sinclair]

Rob,

Just realised I missed a few points out.

Was it invented on the premise that any idiot could tie one on the end of his line and catch stocked rainbows?

And also if memory serves me correctly the fly was a collaboration between Magnus, Richard Walker and my old man?

Cheers,

Steven.

So you had inside information!! lol... Not quite right regarding the name..Yes, it was the Idiot Prrof Nymph, but it was not that any idiot could catch on it...but close

[Allan Liddle]

Any idiot could tie it?

[Rob Brownfield]

Any idiot could tie it?

Yip..I believe it was "invented" for the fly tying courses ran at that school on the Lang Stracht.

Over to you

[Allan Liddle]

Oops didn't mean to do that and i've nothing ready......

Ok easy one

Not so very long ago there was a competition running to name the best fishing hotels in the country.  Who was the main sponsor and what was the name of the fly they produced to run alongside this?

No google cheats. 

[Marc Fauvet]

no idea about the fly or sponsor but the Colquhonnie in Strathdon must be the hotel. 

[Allan Liddle]

Believe it may once have been mentioned as a finalist but not sure it ever won it, we're talking a few years ago Marc btw.

Anyway not looking for named hotels, but the main competition sponsor and the name of the fly?

[Marc Fauvet]

was sarcasm mate. it's without a doubt the worst place ever. a real sh***hole...

[Iain Goolager]

 

Tres bien

Yan

[Allan Liddle]

Sorry Marc 
Long long time since i was last up there and it was ok back then, but time marches on.........

Anyway still no guesses to the questions???

[Eddie Sinclair]

Alan,
I gave in and tried cheating on Google. And I still don't know the answer.

Eddie.

[Allan Liddle]

Ok wee clue..........
'Glen of Tranquility' 

[Eddie Sinclair]

Glenmorangie.

 

[Allan Liddle]

Correct, and the fly was? 

[Rob Brownfield]

Correct, and the fly was? 

A salmon one?

[Steven Sinclair]

The whisky fly...

Cheers,

Steven.

[Allan Liddle]

It was the 'Morangie Pennel guys.

[Mike Barrio]

The reflection doesn't match the background ............ there's a whole chunk of hill type land to the left of the hut refection that isn't in the top area.

Cheers
Mike
