I sure you will get a few replies on this one Mark, but it might help you a bit more if you tell us a bit more. Its a big place Scotland with a lot of different types of waters and a few different species.

Not a clue what you might catch up there in feb, ive never even been that far in summer.

 

Might be a good idea to read this this.

I've looked at this rod in my local tackle shop. It has a CWT of 10-30g I think, if it's the same rod as there's a few in the range. So any lure, be it micro jerk, spinnerbait, spoon, spinner or plug will be ok to just over an ounce in weight. I'd go for power pro braid in 20 - 30 lbs and fish the smaller lures for chub and perch but seeing as you're up Orkney, Trout and Perch The set up will handle accidental Pike captures.

I would guess the trout season will be closed in Feb.

OOPS!! my mistake just fish for the Perch then and any Trout that fall to the lures can be called accidental

Has Orkney got any coarse fish?

[arkay]

I'd bet my jewels it has perch. Also Grayling, debatable coarse fish due to the adipose fin but I stand to be corrected on both counts.

 

And I'm not looking for a fight, I was trying to give advice on the set up more than the venue

I wasn't looking for a fight either, but if you've got some jewels i might have them.
