Sea trout flies

So - what do I know ?



I tied these sea trout flies when I got bored one night

A bottle of whisky if you can name them all ;D

These are 'used' flies

On the right are three freshwater flies of a 'modern' design that I developed for use at night on the River Spey in low water conditions. I changed the colours (I have more) about every twenty minutes or so.

On the left are The Haslam and two others that are very successful daytime flies. Anyone recognise them?

Hi Donald,

I really like the look of the orange tandem in your first pic (Dunkeld?), I've heard orange can be a good colour for sea trout in the straits, any experience?

Several of us have posted thoughts on how to use lures. The same 'rules' apply to flies.
Colour is the last 'variable' to change when fishing. It is also the first variable you 'choose' when buying them - inverse logic there ! ! Brows through the comments on lure use.
Location, depth, direction, speed, action and size come well before colour choice.
