Not your normal
It’s taken me hours of pulling together all the snippets of video taken on (mostly) mobile phone, GoPro, Mavic Air Drone, DSLR and a wee ruggedised Panasonic Video camera to get something half watchable from the trip to Islay. Aside from cutting down all the footage to something that tells the story, there was the colour grading which was very difficult across four different
Obviously the trip with Fly Fish Islay was beset by very blustery weather conditions which definitely curtailed the loch outings, but
The house on Lossit Estate really is something special, and unless you have a big group it’s not going to be something everyone could experience outside of a trip organised like this one was.

I have been to Shetland a few times many years ago, but alas never fished there, I imagine with the exposed nature of the place it can be a challenge finding some shelter? I was always working on my trips. Spent some time on Foula, at Bressay, Lerwick and at Sandness, and used to come up to see an Electrical contractor we used as an “agent” to do some first line maintenance on the early cell sites we had up there. I have fished ( a long time ago ) on Orkney. Must be fabulous on one of those long summer nights in June!
