Njugle Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 That's one hellish looking fish; half gator! That is nothing like an otter board, and i think from the legal aspect that constitutes unattended fishing gear so i think it's probably illegal, for troots anyway. I spose you could argue the case for using one 'jug' but any more than that and the association would probably smash up your boat. An otter board would take a bit of describing, i might 'tackle' it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medziotojas Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I found this article from Fish and Fly about fishing with an otterboard in Shetland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medziotojas Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 My knowledge of flies has somewhat diminished over the years, but I seem to remember having some degree of success in Laxo with the butcher for sea trout and both the matuka and the whiskey fly (as opposed to the fly whiskey ) for sea trout/salmon.

Malachy Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Still looking for your thoughts on sea trout fishing in Shetland over at this thread here: http://www.shetlink.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=67794#67794 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyumpi Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Woo Hoo! It's started! The Sea Troot season, dat is. I know that given the current problems facing the seagoing Trutta trutta population that it seems we really shouldn't be trying to catch this noble fish, let alone eat it but since this the only Sea Troot that I've managed to catch actually on purpose rather than as a bycatch of some youthful piltick spinning then I feel (almost) justified in retaining it and thoroughly enjoying eating it.http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/7791/photo0180bg9.th.jpgA lovely troot of 2lb 6 5/8ozs caught in the Loch o' Strom on Friday, a lovely way to christen my new waand. (A Greys 5-15g 7' GRXi Lightweight Spinning rod, for those who might be interested.) Rest assured that any other Sea Troots that I land this year will find them selves back in the water quick smart, and that's to be pretty much the fate of most of the Broonies I take this year as well.....

michael_balmain Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Tried Cunninsburgh Burn near the marina on monday night.Blowing a Hooly, Lowish tide, rain.... LOVED it..Sadly no fish though but I did see one in the burn. I left once after about 40 minutes of pure darkness as with all that wind it wasn't too much fun. Tides are a bit off for evening fishing just noo but I may go down to spiggie tonight just as it's getting dark. Here's hoping it's a good year!!!

Skyumpi Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I've been out a couple of times, once at the Voehead of Weisdale and another in the Loch of Strom, but haven't even seen a fish yet.It's a amazing how good standing in the rain flicking a fly all over a cold grey bit of water can make you feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_balmain Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I agree with you there Skyumpi, Although the forecast is pants, the likelihood of catching something very slim and I know I'll get frozen I'll still come back we a big grin on me face. Just getting everything together for tomorrow's adventure! Anyplans on getting oot next week Sky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
