JC,




Have you tried checking with some of the local sporting goods shops, fly tying shops, or fishing tackle shops? Wish I knew more about your area to help you out, but I'm over here on the West Coast.




What city are you in? Maybe I can narrow down some contacts for you and find out some more info.




Steve

Hi




My wife works at Psyche Reseacrh at IUPUI your wofe gave my wife your web address to let me have a look.




I moved to Indy from the Highlands of Scotland in April, I have been fly fishing since I was a boy and now 33 years old. I have only gone fishing a few times here though I don't know where I am going half the time, I have been catching Blue Gills on gold bead head nymphs, two types in particular, pheasant tail nymph and hares ear nymph. I know nothing about american flies but am very familiar with most of the traditional scottish patterns, my favourites being the Dunkeld, Teal Blue and Silver, The Butcher, Loch Ordy, Bibio, Kate McLaren etc etc....




In Scotland I mostly fished the rivers and lochs in Caithness and my favourite river and possibly one of the greatest rivers in Scotland the Naver in Sutherland where I fished for Salmon, Brown Trout and Sea Trout, the best fly on this river is the Dunkeld, and I would find it hard to believe the Dunkeld would not do well over in the States as well, its a beautiful fly.




I used to tie flys but haven't done so for years, have tied trout flies and salmon tubes with stoats tail etc..




Would like to know of places close by I can go for a cast. I took only my shakespeare 9ft rod with me but will be looking to buy another while I am here, I always fancied a penn rod but too expensive in the UK, also left my waders at home, to much of a pain to carry
