The following notes comprise our suggestions for rods, reels and equipment for beginners who are considering fly fishing on trout lakes and reservoirs.
All of the items are available from your local fishing tackle shop. The staff at the shops will be pleased to help. Just explain that you’ve been reading the beginners pages on the web site, and that you need a bit of help.

Rods – Fly rods are specified as a length and an ‘AFTM’ number. The AFTM relates to the weight of fly line that the rod is designed to be used with. Over-loading a rod, in other words casting a line heavier than the rod is designed for can cause the rod to break, under-loading it makes casting very difficult, since the light line will not flex the rod enough to make it cast properly. It is therefore essential that you purchase a rod that is suitable for your uses, and that you match that rod to the correct weight of fly line.
Suggested rod lengths and line weights are as follows:-
Situated 12 miles to the south of Aberdeen on the A92, Logie Trout Fishery was established in 1988. Set in lovely surroundings on the edge of Limpet Wood, the natural vegetation and plant life on both pools provides the fish with quality feeding, and with an abundance of insect life the evening rise at the fishery can be quite spectacular.
