Actually we don't really stalk the fish, they are a bit tricky to see in some of the peat stained waters and wading can be extremely hazardous. Some of the lochs are deeper than the hills(mountains) that surround them and shelve just as steeply! We use just the traditional and traditional sized wet flies like the Invicta, Clan Chief, Zulus, Mallard and Claret and we find them much more effective than some of the modern flies that are so effective down south.We usually fish three flies at a time on an intermediate line(a floater works well too) with a ten or eleven foot rod, it saves a lot of that false casting nonsense.
