011.jpg Deputy Mayor of Istanbul Tankut Gundogar with Loch Dughall, North-West Sutherland, behind him. 1200 x 1600ARTICLE ABOUT THE DEPUTY MAYOR OF ISTANBUL’S FISHING TRIP TO SUTHERLAND BY CHARLIE JACOBY 07850 195353 charlie@imags.comHEAD: Fishing a tas sinekleriSTANDFIRST: Charlie Jacoby joins the deputy mayor of Istanbul on a trout trip to Scotland to try out a Turkish stone fly patternThere’s a long tradition of foreign trout flies doing well in Sutherland hill lochs. Lee Wulff invented his Gray Wulff for the Adirondacks. Dick Walker produced his Walker’s Mayfly Nymph for what he called “smaller stillwaters”. Both are essentials in any Sutherland fly box. But what were the fish to make of the offerings from Turkey?Turkish trout fishing is as well-kept a secret as Iranian trout fishing was ten years ago. The highlands around the Tevs Valley near Erzerum yield fish of up to 5lb. And Tankut Gundogar came to Sutherland armed with the kinds of flies which can, properly placed, deal with fish like that. The question for us was whether those flies could deal with those fishes’ Scottish cousins.Tankut Gundogar is deputy mayor of Istanbul and, for many years, has spent his holidays in Scotland, mainly at Luss on Loch Lomondside. He is fanatical about all things Scottish, has his own kilt, and has a fine collection of Scottish football strips pinned up on his bedroom wall. He has a wide range of friends in Istanbul and elsewhere in Turkey who feel a close affinity with Scottish culture.In June, Tankut went with his friend Charlie Hughes for a couple of days to the Rhiconich Hotel in the far north-west. He brought with him a selection of flies from his own country. Charlie has fished for many years at the next-door Scourie Hotel and knows the area well. Scourie hotel guests fish some of the Rhiconich water. Charlie is a Scots-trained architect, born in Dundee, who works with the Mayor’s Office in Istanbul on sustainable development as Turkey prepares for European membe

008.jpg Mike Powell's ferrets, 3456 x 2304ORIGINAL ARTICLEBest ferreting gizmosAfter 50 years of ferreting, Mike Powell reckons he knows the right equipment to useHaving obtained ferret, nets and such other items that he requires the newcomer is ready to take to the fields. Ferreting is a sport, and here we are discussing it in that context rather than that of the professional, who will always approach things rather differently. Rabbits will set up home in almost any environment from refuse tips, around domestic or farm buildings to sewage farms and cemeteries. Each of these situations will need a different approach and are probably best left until experience has been gained. Most will be found though in open country with their holes or buries in hedges, woodland or open ground and it is in these situations the beginner will learn the craft. I can only pass on tips from my own experience and reiterate that different areas present different problems and some techniques that work in one area would fail in another. In the absence of a dog with the capability to “mark” inhabited buries the ferreter must decide for himself if there is anyone at home. Signs of uninhabited holes are easier to recognise than those with occupants in residence. Except for days in Autumn when there has been a heavy leaf fall, dead leaves and other detritus at the entrance and generally “dead” looking soil pretty well always denote that there has been no activity and these holes should be avoided, look for entrances where the soil has been recently excavated or in wet weather beaten down to a slick surface. Fresh droppings, bark stripped from surrounding twigs, well used runs through the hedge or out in field and what we call spudding, shallow scrapes where rabbits have been looking for roots etc: and of course crop damage all denote the presence of rabbits living nearby and should be worked.Having found a set of buries having some or all of the above indicators you can make a start. Rabbits
