HoEFFS - Autumn Salmon on the Shiel
Jed's Deveron Fish.....
Just got the image sorted from Jed's fish from Monday.
What a super fit fish....
Take a look at that adipose.....
Deveron Trip opens its account.......
Morning All - Just to let you know Frank Moors party on the Deveron opened it fish account yesterday with a fine 9lb+ autumn cock salmon. Jed Higgs hooked the fish in a steady glide on a yellow silver Ally's shrimp. The fish as you can see was in excellent condition in its magnificent autumn colours and was returned in super fit condition - with me getting wet in the process......
I will be adding some images to our Facebook and Twitter pages later today.
Back to work now.......
Another exciting week....
Just to let you all know.... Whilst Bruce has been sorting out the Bargain Basket items I have been behind the camera getting more images of flies sorted for Crystal River. These will start to appear next week in between teaching on the River Deveron with our good Buddy Frank Moors and then hosting a HoEFFS trip on the River Shiel. I plan to put out lots of images and hopefully fishee updates during the next couple of weeks so keep watching our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds for more news.
Busy times to say the least...... and whilst all this is going on Judith will be in charge back at the Store ready to help with your inquiries and orders.
Off to pack a bag and polish a few fly lines.........
Clearing out the back rooms
It's amazing what you find when you have a clear out, and that is just as true for our shop as it would be for our homes! We were making a bit of space in the back rooms, and we have come across odd bits of stock that were moved out of the shop to make way for new ranges at various points in the past. Over the coming weeks we will get all the items photographed and listed online, and the bit you will most like to hear, discounted for clearance. The first items will include several Sage rods, some Scott rods, as well as a few other rods. The discounts are generous, and each discount will be listed on the product page. Have a look in out Bargains Basket to see what we've got. Remember that we have plenty of current ranges as well, so please have a look around the rest of the website.
Among the most fascinating items were the Ugly Duckling wobblers. I have not come across them before, but they bear a passing resemblance to a Rapala I suppose. I had to do a bit of research to find out more about these spinning lures, and I was amazed at what I found. Perhaps I am showing my age as I was surprised to find a Facebook group dedicated to these little chaps. They seem to be very popular on the continent, and seem effective for pike and perch, and I think the larger ones could be used for salmon. They would be ideal for beginners as they are fairly cheap, so no great loss if they get snagged and lost. That said, snagging should be rare as they are a floating lure.
Now, to start on my own home...
