I'm not a fisherman but think it's a great sport, with cool gear and great landscapes to enjoy your hobby doing. I think your panoramas are great. It's my favorite and I kind of specialize in them.Keep up the great work. Gale Mike, I really enjoyed your blog!

Just like a curry, you have to sample it to know what the tastiest bits are.<br/><br/>A great way for you guys to end the season. Have you been after the grayling yet?<br/><br/>cheers<br/><br/>Alex Hey Mike

A beautiful piece of writing there, I just love the curry analogy – it’s so true!!

A great way for you guys to end the season. Have you been after the grayling yet?

With a large Wulff on the point and buzzers on the droppers, I had a great day. <br/><br/>So I tried it with two different stages of Caddis emergers on a very slow part of the river this year during a Caddis hatch, as an experiment - but little success. I thought I would try it some more next season.<br/><br/>Tight lines I used a washing line rig on Loch Corrib once, on a day when few fish appeared to be moving.

Just enough to allow for a couple of fly changes. What is much more important is the distance between the dropper fly (or flies) and the point dry. Changing this is what allows you to control the range of depths you fish through. We typically used something like 3-6'. Thanks Tom, nice to have you drop by.

I'm envious. <br/><br/>And the "Washing line" thing sounds interesting. How long a dropper were you using? Nine days. I’m envious.
