Fishing Spey

If you are considering exploring the beautiful Scottish countryside I have a few suggestions for you. Here are some places of interest in the North East Of Scotland.

In the breathtaking Aberdeenshire countryside and standing on the bank of the river Ythan is Fyvie Castle. With its hidden chamber and resident Ghost this is one spooky attraction.

The haunting started when workmen renovating the castle discovered a skeleton of an unidentified woman buried in a wall. The men decided to remove the skeleton and bury her in the local Fyvie cemetery. It was they did this that various reports appeared citing strange goings on in the castle.

Only when the skeleton was exhumed and place back in the wall did the noises stop making the residence believe the dead lady was not happy at being moved.

Nearby is Huntly Castle. A castle dating back some 600 years in various shapes and forms. It has had two different names and it has been privy to at least eight battles or sieges. It as also seen a few executions and has been home to various wealthy Scottish families making Huntly Castle a site for people with a real thirst for history.

North West of Aberdeen in an area called Speyside which lies on the banks of the river Spey.

This beautiful area encompasses various historic towns and villages including Aviemore and Elgin and is famous for its Malt Whiskey Festival called the 'Spirit of Speyside'.

Various malt whiskey distilleries can be found in the area, especially along the banks of the river. The river itself is famous for being for it's fishing and is abundant in salmon.

The next 'Spirit of Speyside' festival is scheduled for September 2010 with another starting in April 2011. Keep up to date by visiting the festivals Facebook page!

To the west of Elgin is the Moray Firth. This outstandingly beautiful area has exquisite fishing villages to explore and wonderful beaches plus some of the best sea fishing.

Speyside is well worth a visit.

Anglers Book Supply Co 0Mir000500 Art Of Spey Casting $63.38 Learn the basic and advanced Spey Casting techniques for both Single and TwoHanded Rods. Watch and learn as 17 of the world s best casters share their styles and skills through multicamera coverage of easytofollow demonstrations on rivers in actual fishing situations. Chapters include: 13 detailed demonstratons of spey casting techiques; and 6 Bonus Chapters that include an interview with Mel Krieger; a fun look behindthescenes; a casting competition; and interviews with manufacturers/sponsors involved in the production. DVD 3 hours 30 min. One very important point to remember is that spey casting is a style of casting utilized by both single and doublehanded rod casters. There are a growing number of people today who fish in rivers throughout the east west (Montana Pennsylvania North Carolina Maine Oregon Florida Colorado California etc.) who no longer use the standard roll cast. Instead they use spey techniques that allow for powerful casts when there is no room for a normal backcast. In fact many people today are not using a normal backcast ever (even if they have room) because spey techniques have proven so effective. There s lots here for the beginner and those who already love either or both of these casting elements and want to learn advanced techniques and styles. What sets this DVD apart from all other Spey videos out there is the truly professional composition editing and cameraworkand the fact that it was done out of a love for the sport with several demonstrators dontating their time. Sequences shot at the beautiful Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club in San Francisco and on rivers around the world.NARRATOR: Lani Waller. INTRODUCTION: Simon GawesworthWHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING: This DVD shows the most comprehensive gathering of expert single and twohanded rod casters/instructors I ve ever seen in my life. What a great way to watch and learn the amazing variety of spey casting methods. Steve Raje

In this volume of the Fly Fishing Academy Henrik Mortensen expands on the intriguing Scandinavian casting and fishing style he first presented in volume four. In addition to the overall fishing strategy message the two foci of the film are efficiently and effectively employing the lift in the case and the art of dry fly fishing.Henrik demonstrates and explains how important the lift is for the cast and how by doing an alternative cast which Henrik dubs the Triple C one can change the lift and direction of the cast. With this demonstration and detailed explanation it is easy to see how important casting techniques are and how they benefit catching results. To add to the intrigue Henrik employs the use of the highly practical switch rods which are becoming more and more popular. And for the first time in his DVD series Henrik illustrates the seductive and very habitforming dry fly fishing. It is surreal to watch how a big fish rises from the bottom to swallow an intriguing dry fly drifting on the surface.
