Hi folks,

My friend is fishing there in the Summer, I think around June.
Are there any local flies he should be tying now or methods he should be practising ?

Cheers,

Me

Get Stan Headley's paperback''The new Trout fishing guide to Orkney'' everything you will need to know.
The Orkney tourist office should have them

Whats a home international ? some sort of race ?

We used to fish Orkney every year in June staying at he Merkester Hotel, The olive was the killer pattern then, but in years things change. I remember fishing Joseys bay once (i think it was called that) on Harray with 3 pheasant tail nymphs from the bank and had a fantastic afternoon there catching fish up to a 1lb quater great fun. Also i fished Harray at around 1 am from the boat and again had some cracking fish.
