Does this mean you caught most of the fish on the top fly in this trip?

Sorry for the late reply but yes nearly all the fish came to the top fly (usually refered to as the "bob fly") on the leader.
What exactly the fish find so exciting about a dark purple (claret) and blue fly I have no idea, there is no natural fly that looks anything like it, but they love it :)

Re: Western Isles, Scotland
Andy,
another pattern I would not be with out is the golden Olive Bumble .
Last time i was on one of the Roag system lochs had a wonderful afternoon with seatrout ,fishing the GOB as a dry.
For some reason they were hitting it with almost violence!

Many thanks for reigniting happy memories of 50 years ago when I frequently visited Loch Carnon on S Uist not too far from South Ford. I stopped with Angus Mcrurie and fished many of the lochans on S Uist and Benbecula. Never did I catch a trout better than 8 inches. Favourite flies were if memory serves me Peter Ross, Grouse & Claret and Zulu. I especially enjoyed the Photos.
