ROD SHARING
Guests are permitted to assign their rods to other fishermen, provided they inform the ghillie in advance. Guests should also make their assignee aware of the rules and regulations.

KILL LIMIT
Guests are not permitted to kill more than 1 fish per day. Thereafter, all fish should be returned as quickly as possible. All stale fish must be returned, and we encourage the return of all hen fish in October.

METHOD OF FISHING
Fly, spinning and worm are permitted. Worm fishers can use one single hook only. No natural minnow, prawn or shrimp are allowed.

FLYS, LURES ETC
A good fly selection would include ally's shrimp, garry dog, thunder & lightning, and stoats tails in sizes 8 to 12's. We also find 1/2 inch brass tubes dressed as above very successful. For spinning, the popular lures are flyng condoms and tobys. We hold a good stock of flies and flying condoms for sale in the bothy.
