Welcome Alexander. Where in Scotland are you from? We went there for my honeymoon and went as far north as the Isle of Skye. What a country. Beautiful, lean air, and the kippers... I wish I drank Scotch back then.

might be an invasive species...don't quote me but I'm sure I read somewhere that there was in England. I'm a sea fisher so my knowledge of freshwater is somewhat limited

Thank you.

Welcome from the West Coast of Canada ! I never met a fisherman from Scotland that I didn't like, mostly because they like the single malt like me. You will learn tons here.

Cheers:
