October 2006 Fly Swap Flies

[Malcolm]

I was particularly interested in the DHE, I just can't get them to work.  Thought mine might be complete different from the rest but from what I see they look similar - just much smaller.  Obviously the troots like em big! 

The only really big flee that looked like a DHE was mine I think and It's a mayfly imitation (the Edie) although It looks a bit like a huge DHE.

Anyway brilliant flies everyone and I'm really looking forward to using them in the summer

Yeah.... but trust me, it works

Believe him, it will.  Hamish is a  real  "big flee"  dude.

Fishing on Stemster in Caithness  oor Hamish gave me a MASSIVE olive Loch Ordie tied on a 10 long shank. It looked like something a sweepie might stick up yer lum. I caught 2 troot almost straight away – 1 ? and 2 lb.

Good fish sometimes like a good mouthful it seems.

Big Loch ordies seem to be the order of the day up in that neck of the woods - I stayed at the Garvault some years ago and the then owner gave me a couple of huge Loch Ordies to fish on Druim. I couldn't believe the size of the things but they were absolutely deadly.

That would be Tony. I hear he is no longer with us 
You are right about the L. Ordies in that area. I think Tony swore by a size 6  :shock:.
