For my birthday this year, my partner surprised me with a
trip to Morayshire, Scotland. He’d told
me about his adventures in previous fly fishing trips to the Highlands, but I
really had no idea what it was all about.
For one thing, it’s not just for men.
Secondly, despite wading into a fast-moving river up to one’s waist, fly
fishing is quite graceful, gentle and meditative. Thirdly, lunch by the water is
fantastic. Lastly, the hotel where we
stayed was authentically Scottish and elegant and a superb place to socialise
with fellow fisher-people/friends at the end of the day. It’s a bit like a ski trip, only instead of
ski instructors, there are highly experienced and wonderful ghillies. Would I do it again? For a long weekend, in a heartbeat.
You can view some of my photos of the trip below or in the online photobook I created here.
