FAQ'S

Over the years the same questions keep coming up - "What's the best pool?" "Which is the best fly?" My reply doesn't really change from year to year, always saying it depends on the height and time of year. But over the seasons certain pools and flies rise to the top, so I have gone back through all the catches from 2011 and compiled a list of the best pools and flies for all 3 beats.

Carlogie:

Commonty:

2. Bend

4. Boat
5. Ottertrap

Top Flies

As you can see there are differences in the flies on all the beats but certainly the stand out fly is the Red Frances! By some strange coincidence it happens to be my favourite fly!! Just shows you that if you listen to your Ghillie and use the fly he tells you, you may be lucky!!!!
