Nessc You are going to the Yokanga week of 20th June? I will see you there. Do not go mad tying everything you can, its not required. If you have willie Gunns. Snaeldas. Junction Shrimps. cascades. Park shrimps and sunrays, then your sorted. If you ain been before, better hold on, its fanbloodytastic. Better have plenty backing? Loopie

Are you on the same week? Going to make up a new box for the Yokanga, as all my flies for Scotland are barbed. I was planning a new reel with a better drag system on it, however I think the buzz from my old Hardy marquis no3 would be hard to beat? Gordon

Gordon. Excellent, aye its the 19th at the camp. i will be there. Right enough, barbs, hope the hooks are not salars? Your marquis three will be fine, need to palm it plenty though. The first time i went out, my loop evotec,s drag had to be doubled in order to have any control over the fish. I now use an abel anti reverse especially for out there and its fine.
