A 10lb Salmon caught
at the end of July in Abernethy water on the River Spey
JUNE
The odd
Salmon still getting caught but this is usually the month the main
runs of Sea Trout start to run the River Spey.
Best night so far:
4 fish landed and 6 other pulls
Best flies: Teal Blue
& Silver; Alexandra; Squirrel Blue & Silver; Stoat's Tail.
David from the USA shown
here with a 12lb Pike , one of three double figure fish caught at
the end of June from Loch Pityoulish.
I would expect
as July comes and the river settles back down to summer levels, Sea
Trout catches will increase.
If you are
fishing late in the night tubes that are working well are generally
black and silver and blue and silver. One of my favourite flies to
use very late at night is a Black and Red Waddington.
MAY
Finally rain
came in May and so did the Salmon and here are just a few fish that
were caught during the past weeks:
Best fish: 13lbs
Successful fly: Cascade
Allyshrimp
Sea Trout came off Grantown
whilst fishing for Browns and weighed approximately 4.5lbs which was
a nice early surprise.
