Alistair, the kilted angler, over at the Urban Fly Fishing on the Kelvin pointed out "The Highlander Way" website which promotes the virtues of traditional fly fishing.
No "look how big a fish I can catch" No name dropping, no blonde bimbos hanging on my arm & no I don't do competitions, sell cigars or fine wines. What I do "sell" is a gentler time when fly fishers treated their quarry with respect. Where fly fishers could sit & pass the time of day without mentioning, bag limits boobies & blobs.
At first glance the I was a bit concerned that Highlander fly fishing might involve immortals wielding swords and chopping off the heads of their rivals. Instead I find a great site with some nice examples of traditional wet flies with names like "The Goat's Toe" and "the Clan Chief".
