Febuary's issue of Trout and Salmon magazine crossword prize is the new Einarsson Invicta Reel, Available at the Borders Gunroom.
April's issue of Trout and Salmon magazine will feature an article by Iain Wilson on tying Turbo Disc salmon flies, below there is a selection of short videos showing the action of the fly in moving water.
This is a medium sized turbo disc greenlander tube fly, this fly has caught me two spring salmon of the 2013 season from the River Tweed.
The fly is tied using small flu yellow / green ostrich plumes as the hackle and a black mini marabou feather as the front hackle. The turbo disc at the front of the tube causes a disturbance at the front of the fly,which causes the very mobile hackle to get aggitated and gives the fly a superb swimming action.
