What flys

[Wildfisher]

Grouse and Claret is a much underused fly these days. There are few better patterns for Scottish lochs.

The grouse and green too. I had a great day on Fionn with this fly during the Mayfly a few years ago. As it happens, I've never heard of the Grouse and Claret although the Mallard and claret is a staple. The dry pheasant tail used to be the staple fly for imitating the Blue Winged Olive.

John Gray has some nice pics of the classic flies. Scroll down to "Scottish Loch Flies";
