Gone Fishin'
When I was about 8 years old, I went
fly fishing for the first time. Even then,
I realised that the point of going fishing
wasn't just about catching a fish.
There is a wonderful sense of peace and
tranquillity.
Catching a fish is a bonus. It is
satisfying to enjoy a meal that you have
caught yourself in a fishery, however when
river fishing for wild trout, it's equally
satisfying to 'catch and release'. There
is certainly an opportunity for bonding
and camaraderie with your fishing
companions- whether that is a father/son
fishing day or a day with friends.

at The Lake of Menteith.
It can be relatively inexpensive to set
up as a fly fisherman/woman. (Fly fishing
has become a very popular activity for
females in recent years.) Shakespeare and
Daiwa, for example, make some great rods
starting at around the £30 mark, and reels
starting at around £25. You will need a
fishing line (which can either float, sink,
or do something in between, and leaderwhich is the thin, invisible line that makes
up the last couple of feet and attaches to
the fly). There are many types of flies, and
a local fishing supply shop will help you
select which ones would be best for where
and when you plan to fish. The flies can be
wet (sink), dry (float) or there are a variety
of others including nymphs and lures. For
a while (before I had children) I tied some
of my own flies. It is certainly a satisfying
feeling catching a fish on a fly that you
have made by hand yourself!

This photo is the first fish my son
Edward caught with me (the fish was
safely returned to the river).

If you are a beginner- google search to
find out what fishing clubs/societies are in
your area. They may have an introduction
day. Rod licences for river fishing usually
only cost around £30 for a year.
Alternatively, lake/loch fishing
or visiting a fishery can be a good
introduction to fly fishing (the water on
a loch moves less than a river allowing
you to hone your casting skills, and there

by Mike Gow
are fewer overhanging trees, riverbank
weeds, rocks etc to lose your flies on!) A
well-stocked fishery can also improve your
chances of landing a reasonably sized fish!
You can take casting lessons, or even
teach yourself via a youtube tutorial! There
is a certain skill to casting in fly fishing.
It can be quite mesmerising to watch the
arc of a fly rod and line as it is being cast.
Again, there is a very satisfying feeling
when you land your fly exactly on the spot
that you have recently seen a fish rise (a
small splash when the fish takes a fly from
the surface of the water).
