What a great way
to spend a summers day! Go fishing!
Fishing is a great outdoor activity for
everyone. Fishing teaches everyone an entire set of values.
Aside from the outdoors and nature, we can learn what life is
all about. We can learn what it means to be able to feed people.
For catch and release, we can learn conservation.
Fishing is a relaxing sport that can be enjoyed by everyone no
matter what age, ability or background.
Ghillies and Guides
A ghillie (also spelt gillie) is a
vital ingredient to a successful day on the river. The word
actually means "man servant" in Gaelic. His first priority
however, is to look after your safety - namely to make sure you
don't fall into a deep hole or get swept away.
Then he will try to ensure that you catch fish. This can only be done by intimately understanding the
beats, which is achieved by living and working on the river day
after day through constant observation.
Only then can you understand the lies and how they attract fish
in different water conditions. If you are not familiar with a
beat you would be well advised to take local advice.
