In addition, your fishing guides are highly experienced in the art of fly fishing from a drifting boat. In fact, if you have never tried the Scottish fishing techniques of drifting in a boat fishing a team of flies, then this is an experience in Scotland not to be missed. The boat is set up to drift side on to the wind, and therefore two anglers can easily fish, along with a guide controlling the drift.

Because your boat is constantly drifting, the technique is to keep casting the flies a short distance in front of the boat. Consequently, you will cover a lot of water and fish this way. Equally stealth is a key factor of success, so sitting quietly in the boat, gently drifting towards fish is highly effective.
