A Sunday walk down by Loch Long and I find a lost, rather exotic looking Salmon fly. Migratory fish such as Salmon or Trout can be caught here but must be returned to the water immediately. Numbers of these fish are in decline so fishing regulations are very strict.
The fly represents prey and is hand tied to a fish hook alongside feathers, furs and threads to become so irresistible to the fish that will fall for its trickery.
