Fly fishing
trips to one of the most famous salmon river in the world,
the Spey in Scotland. The destination will be famous Castle
Grant Beat in middle Spey. The beat
is excellent fly water including fast runs and deep holding
pools.
The period in
mid May is absolutely prime spring fly fishing time on Spey and
could be described as finest salmon fishing in Scotland. The
host will be Jouni Rauha, the head guide of the Fishmaster. Spey.
The Spey is located in the north-east of Scotland and it is the
second longest and the fastest flowing river in Scotland. It is
very famous and one of Scotland's big four salmon rivers.
The Spey is well known for its early run salmon and there is good
spring fishing season from March until the end of May. The Spey
is a very beautiful river which suits excellently for fly
fishing. The fishing on the river Spey is mainly catch and
release.
Fly Fishing-Castle Grant. Our fly fishing group
persons will fish
the Castle Grant Beat 3 on middle Spey, about 4 km downstream
from Grantown on Spey. Set amid scenery of Speyside, the fly
fishing available at Castle Grant Beat 3 in May rank among the
finest in Scotland. The beat 3 is one
and half miles (2,4 km) of double bank fishing.
The river averages about 50 yards in width and the pools vary

comfortable fishing hut with toilet and cooking facilities. With such number of pools, the
Castle Grant Beat 3 offers great variety of fishing and is
excellent fly water including fast runs and deep holding pools. The best
pools of the beat are Pollowick, Greenbank and March. Fishers
are accompanied on the river by full time ghillie and the

Fly Fishing Tackle.
For fly fishing for salmon on Spey
we recommend 12-15 ' feet double handed rods for lines #8-11 and
suitable fly reels with good quality disc brakes. Floating, sink tip or
intermediate shooting heads are most used fly lines but please
bring also medium sinking fly line or shooting head for possible high water
conditions.
