Aye, I can see the Orkney trout will take a hiding next spring Andrew, quality fly dressing mate, inspirational. I have been busy tying boobies and s*ite like that for Rutland next week, booby eyes do ma head in, I just cant get them to please me. Tried all the methods, but its the trimming of them where I **** up, looking forward to the week on Rutland though. Was out on Harray yesterday for a few hours and then took my boat home for the winter. Had a few good fish but didnt come across any of the silver tourists that were about last week. Most fish came to a Doobry muddler variant

, one of which I will send on to you when I get back and sorted out, I'm due you a few now! Keep in touch anyway,
Cheers Ken
