At the table end of last year, LOOP Scotland and TwinPeakes fly fishing invited ghillies from all over Scotland to come and join for an informal day of chat, food, drink and fly fishing at Loch Inch fishery near Aberdeen.

Ghillieing is a bit of a solo lifestyle, and there's rarely time for socialising when the season is on, so this was a great way for friends to meet up and share stories and lessons learned from the previous season, and relax and rewind after a long summer on the river.

This is a part of our Reel People series on the characters and personalities that make up our sport.
