Hi all, I am going to fish a comp on the lake of menteith in sep 2010, never been to the water but have heard great things. Only thing is many are tight lipped on methods and flys. If any one could help in this area it would be greatly appreciated.

I would seriously advise you to fish it at least once before you fish the comp. I made the mistake of not fishing it and it showed as i blanked for 7 hours of fishing. White boobys, okey dokeys, vivas, variation of buzzers, snatchers, nymphs and wet flys. Just the usual suspects. Keep searching the various levels and change your fly patterns regular if ones not working and you shouldnt go far wrong. Good luck mate

not much i can add except head over towards the left hand side on the way out b4 the islands as this seems the popular place

Many thanks for the info hope to be fishing it the day before the comp will take note of the above and get tying

comp went well found productive area over the sands vry shallow but with a small black shrimp pattern was hitting fish all day if anyone wants a copy of the fly let me know as the team were all using them and they were catching all over the lake. oops let the cat out of the bag....hate all the cloak and dagger ****.

im fishing it this year could you put up a picture of the flie

which fly...from the above post it could be one of several!
