I have decided sheep are only good for making indicators and lamb vindaloo

That represents a significant change in attitude for one who has spent time in sheep shagger country...............

Did you get a chance to use your home made indicators while there?

I used mine pretty often. They are fine. The only problem was that they didn't sink often enough

Mainly dries for me - mainly big ugly ones with rubber legs or beetle patterns. An emerger pattern caught me a few fish too, but there was only a smattering of upwinged flies coming off on a couple of rivers and trout were ignoring these, so it wasn't usually worth prospecting with imitations of these.

I had a couple of fish on nymphs too and we resorted to wooly buggers and the like as well. I even stripped a pink booby across the nose of a sockeye salmon and had a take from a cock fish, but it came off
