This fly line was originally a 55ft Mackenzie Spey line for a #10/11 weight rod with integrated running line. Method applied was to cut off small sections starting from the front loop and moving backwards progressively while weighing the shooting head element to achieve a grain weight of 520gr with final Shooting Head length of 30ft. At this point I then reformed a welded loop termination using heat shrink / gun set at 340 degree's. This line was then set up on my TSD 12ft 6" 8/9wt switch rod with a 10ft sink #4 tip. Works a treat! and looking forward to tagging a salmon at Andersons Pool later in the season👍🎣🐟

Effective from 1st February 2025 – The Tweed Salmon Carcass Tagging Code remains a key part of our commitment to sustainable salmon management on the River Tweed. Your cooperation is vital in ensuring the health and longevity of our river and its iconic fish. Spring Salmon form separate and distinct stocks on Tweed. It is imperative to ensure adequate reproduction so that the stocks can sustain themselves. To allow the Spring fish to achieve their best spawning potential it is necessary that all caught fish be returned, unharmed, to the water. Tweed Salmon Tagging Code 2025
What a day on the river! In just an hour of salmon fishing in Scotland, I landed not one, not two, but THREE incredible salmon. Watch as I battle these powerful fish, share tips on techniques, and enjoy the stunning Scottish scenery. If you’re passionate about fly fishing or just love the thrill of the catch, you'll enjoy this vlog! This year is my first full season fishing for Atlantic Salmon and i've mainly fished the River Tweed and around the Scottish Borders. It's been a good season!
