The river produced around 20 last week including a 25 pounder from beat 4. Most rods had fish and Torrish rods had 6, 4 to Andy Sutherland and 2 for ghillie Jean Bain from Kilphedir 12lbs and Lower Caen 10lbs both on the trusty gold bodied Willie Gunn.

Myself, well 2 days on the Spey produced my first 5 of the season including a stunning 25 pounder from Rhynd pool Wester Elchies. Fabulous beat with a range of pools where the fly swings like a dream. RS Mylar Willie Gunn tube had 2 and our Solar Monkey took the other 3 including the big boy. The set up was the usual Loop Cross S1 15ft, Gaelforce 10/11 63ft head & 10ft sink tip 3.9ips. Maxima Chameleon 18lbs and Fulling Mill silver tube doubles size 6, I hooked 5 kelts and 5 springers and landed every one well hooked - great hooks!

We have all of the above for sale, its a superb combo and the proof is in the pudding as you can see below...call me anytime for deals or advice, this gear is becoming highly sought after and its all just a click away! Dream combo!

Lookout also for a huge influx of new flies this week from midweek especially Monkeys in Tungsten etc and many of our out of stock favourites coming back in stock.
