I had never fished the Brora before Dennis and since adding these Two videos a lot of anglers have asked me not to add any more because they want to keep it for themselves I can understand why Cheers Iain 🥃

That river would fish really well for XXL sea trout late at night, that’s how we caught our brutes in Loen and Lærdal at pool tails . Shallow fast moving water Amazing river Iain would love to join one spring. It is a real possibility as I have close family in Bergen We could fish 20 hrs out of a 24 hr period with a 4 hr rest period 2 pm - 6pm in most rivers

You have some fantastic water to fish Schevo. The Lærdal has a great reputation . years ago we came to Bergen on a family holiday and I had the operunity to fish near the Hardanger Fiord and also for trout near Ski Great memories. Cheers Iain. 🥃

Sorry I never got back to your last reply Stephen . I have been a bit busy and trying to squeeze a bit of fishing in as well . I will have a look at buying the airflow line . There were a lot of sea trout in the river and I think that if I had worked the fly a bit quicker then would have gone for it . I was hoping for a salmon but not to be Maybe next trip 😉.

the reel I am fishing with is a J W Young 1540 Raf they were one of the cheapest salmon reels on the market . I know of several anglers that fish with them and never had a bit of bother . I have had the small Paul ware and was able to get the part to repair very easily and only cast a couple of pounds. My reels are around 40years old and still;l sound as good as the day I bought them Cheers Iain. 🥃

I am quite fortunate to have had the opportunity to have fished for salmon for a long time and collected a lot of tackle that I use at different times and rivers . on the trip to the Brora I was using a Sage 12.9 TCR which is possibly 25 years old . I have the cheapest running line I could find £7.99 the shooting head is an airflow rage compact 10/11 with a Rio 10ft tip `. Spending a bit of money for a lesson with a casting instructor for an hour or two is well worth it. I know of lots or people that can cast of both shoulders and cover the water a lot better Cheers Iain. 🥃

Iain I've this question before around the line you used and you suggested Rio Scandi short multi tip but the question I don't seem to know is, do you also have a Rio shooting line as part of the setup? Also any recommendations on a fly reel for an 8# rod
@IainSB

I use the cheapest running line I can find Stevie. Most of the ones that I have are mill end and I think that I paid about £7.99 and thought it a good price and bought ten of them. I have bought expensive reels in the past and most of them are in a drawer covered in dust. I prefer a reel that can hold a lot of line and is heavy enough to balance the rod. It makes it a lot easier to cast if the balance is right and the reel acts as a pendulum to assist in the effort to load the rod. I think that is why I tend to go for the old heavier reels. Another point I would like to add in. the mix is I usually have a line size heavier than stated on the rod. usually line weights go up in 50 gram increments and over the tenth of a fly line this is not very much added to the body of a fly line . 50 grams is the weigh of a 5pence and over the length of a line is very little but can make a bit of difference to loading the rod. For instance some of my 7 weight rods I use a 9weight line and it suits the rod and loads it without causing any problems I am fortunate that over the years I have accumulated a lot of lines and can mix and match to get a good result for ease of casting and getting a better distance I hope this helps Cheers Iain. 🥃
