My 3 Top Flys for Lake of Menteith - Clubbies Semi Final 

@@gmccombe brilliant glad you had a good day and those flys worked. They will work on the small waters too. I’ll keep the videos coming with what is working 🎣

@@MF-Fly_Tying I'll try them at Harelaw this weekend. Planning on tying some more.

@@gmccombe should do the job there too

@@josephbrownisky9473 thanks Joseph much appreciated 🎣💪

It’s a fantastic venue and the stamp of fish is excellent regularly catching fish around the 4-5lb mark and there are lots of them

@@MF-Fly_Tying I’m English but my mother in law lives 10 mins from Port of Menteith , wife is always wondering why I’m so keen to visit the in laws 🤷‍♂️.

@@DavidHannaford-ff1sw thanks David

@@campbellmorgan1089 cheers Campbell. Hopefully catchup with you soon mate

@@davidfraser4083 I’m sure they will do the job. If I was going back out again I’d be fishing the same flys for sure

@@lawrencemacd63 cheers mate appreciated

Honestly when I first started tying I went wild with all sorts of variations and different materials but to be honest most of what I tie are pretty simple those seem to be what catch most of my fish. Can’t take the credit these patterns have been around for ages I just put my spin on them. My rule is tie 3 fish them and if they work then tie more if they don’t you haven’t spent to much time or materials for them to sit in your box. Everything I tie works and you will find in my box. The hooks I’m using are from Fly Fish North bronze nymph hooks. For drys I’m using filling mill grab gape or Fario short shank specials

Thanks for the reply Mario I used to fish rivers but due to circumstances I now only fish still waters I do much the same as you and tie flies trial them if no good start again I have got together flies that work for me now but still learning , the water I fish is only stocked a couple of times a year so it gets difficult and natural flies seem to work best, your ideas definitely give me inspiration. Regards Robbo
