Tying & Dramming

Both these seem to go well together and somehow the dramming gives me inspiration. I decided I had to have a dram or two from the bottle of Highland Park 12yo Malt Whisky, which I had been given at my works Malt Whisky Club on Tuesday night.

It was while drinking this that I came up with the fly pictured. I was looking for something slightly different from the norm for Salmon & Sea Trout. I will be targeting the Salmon early next season and the Sea Trout from June 2011.

The river Kent has a good run of Salmon and Sea Trout. The salmon are more prolific in the spring and late autumn, with the sea trout starting to show from June onwards.
