PRIME WEEKS ON the Spey don’t come along that often, and the weeks that follow are only available because of some changes made in how the Gordon Castle Estate water is being managed.
The Castle Beat and Lower Water 1 and 2 all lie downstream of Fochabers road bridge and offer excellent fishing throughout. Since last [...]

However, all is not lost and there is still time to secure a day or two’s fishing at this very special [...]

THE CREDIT CRUNCH is throwing up some rather interesting opportunities for those who have been canny with their pennies. It was the same when the Lloyds insurance syndicates imploded twenty years ago, we’d never seen so many prime weeks on famous rivers come on the market.
