Hi

 

A ten foot plus rod coupled with a 6 or 7 weight line, either DT or WF should see you OK. The type of reel doesn't matter, it's only for storing the line anyway. Usually on Awe, wet fly is the norm, though nymphs and dries will sometimes have their day (or night), as will lures for the escapee rainbow trout.

 

I wouldn't class July and August as the best months, but early morning and evening should be productive, and the dry daddy-long-legs would be in my fly box.

 

And good luck with the midges.......

Cheers

 

Ian.

Cheers bro.

Aw Right Chaps,

My friends and I are complete novices to fly fishing, so novice we have not got any fly fishing gear yet(but there is still plenty time to syphon off from the housekeeping kitty). We are planning a day or 2 at Loch Awe in probably July or August, we have been coarse fishing there but not fly. what would be recommended gear to use, would it be dry fly or nymph, what weight of line, and what rod & reel would be suitable.

 

Cheers
