    I am new to salmon fishing but had a week on the Findhorn which prompted my Ebay purchases of a Shakespeare Skagit 12'9" 9# and a Loomis NRX 14' 9/10#. The only line I have is the Airflo Rage Shooting Head in 9/10# (the kit comes with 3 x 12’ tips - floating, intermediate and fast sinking). I...

    Looking some advice. I bought a jungle cock cape over the internet in early January. When it arrived I opened it, used it once, didn’t really like the look or smell of it - put it back in its plastic bag and put it away. I don’t know if I left it on the desk at some stage although I probably...

    So last week I sent two emails, one to Rio and one to Hardy asking for advice on a line weight in grains for a particular Hardy rod. Rio replied from Los Angeles the next day with good advice, but Hardy ... well I'm still waiting. Maybe they are very busy. (I now have the line that suits the rod...

    It is with regret that I learned yesterday of the death of our fellow member Morse who departed this world last Monday. I met Gordon on a few occasions on the River Spey and always found him there as I did here on the forum, a kindly, modest gentleman, giving with good advice, who loved his...

    Hi, can anyone give me some advice on a line to buy for delicate presentation. I’m currently using an airflo rage which is great for when it’s windy or high water but find it a bit to splashy on the smooth glides when the river is getting low. I’m using a 13ft 8# uniqua. Thanks in advance
