Through his articles in Trout and Salmon magazine Stan Headley takes us to the great loughs of Ireland, the wild waters of the Western Isles, of Orkney and the north of Scotland, and fertile lowland lakes like Loch Leven. Drawing on his knowledge of freshwater ecology, weather-patterns, geology, fly-tying and the habits of wild trout, he provides an easily-understood rationale of where, when and how to fish successfully. An expert and innovative fly tyer, Stan gives us the background, and the dressings, of many of our most effective fly patterns for wild trout, sea-trout and salmon in lochs.
