rugged snow capped peaks and  "untold amounts" of "trout that may never have been flyfished for...." in lochs that "would take days on foot to get into". where do I sign?

Helicopter trips for bandy lochs! 

I wonder if they use a very small helicopter?     :lol:

I don't expect they will have to expand the fleet to cope with the demand or be overwhelmed  by repeat business.  :D

Now you are making sense.   :8)

I fancy that myself. Got to be better than spending the money  in some midgie infested glen.

I don't expect the Helicopter will get used much at that price, had a wee rumage through the web site and they are not cheap at all.

Seems you now go on SAFARI for wild brown trout ! 4 nights sleeping in  a tent for £1500 per person yer having a laugh ! Sorry forgot yer picked up in a 4X4 ....Must be in the wrong game !

Sounds to me as if they are they flying their clients to the French Alps.

I don't think I view Scottish fishing (or hills or skiiing) and its place in the world that differently from you Fred its just your use of the term 'second rate' that I think is unduly negative. No need to pretend our fishing is something more than it is but I would worry someone thinking about visiting Scotland for some fishing and reading this thread might be put off even if it were just camping they had in mind - sorry for going on about this again :)


Wildfisher

OK John, point taken although, to be controversial once again,  I could hardly care less about anglers choosing not to visit Scotland - in fact if they are going to end up on "my"  waters I'd rather they didn't  :lol:
