A popular fly in the North and West of Scotland, the Goat's Toe, is fairly easy to tie, and its variants, like this one aren't much different on that front. It's as effective as they come for wild browns, seatrout and salmon on the lochs and rivers, particularly o the islands.

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
