Hold on Gus!!

Here we have Scottish International angler and 'Top Bloke' Gus Shepherd playing a 'wild springer' in the Little Turn at Kinermony today. Unfortunately the fish won the battle however, this was perhaps due to a similar drag setting from that of his last Marlin Fishing Trip. Eventhough, Boy did it go !!

Opening Day on the Spey




You will clearly see from the photo's above that the conditions weren't exactly ideal today. I didn't see anyone fishing around the Aberlour/Craigellachie area or at Arndilly on the way home. Plenty time yet!

First Cast of 2009






First cast of 2009 on the Dee at Cairnton, home of the legendary Arthur Wood. Only 4 Kelts and a Freelander in the ditch, so overall a day to forget - not remember!

Classic Spey Salmon


Here is another photo of French Angler, Guy Nardin's 20lb fish. Although much better looking swimming away from the net, this photos clearly shows why we admire these spring salmon so greatly - sheer beauty.


Brace of 20 pounders



Here is a video of French angler Guy Nardin playing a 20lb fish today. Guy, a very experienced Salmon fisherman has been a Kinermony guest for over 20 years and he was bittery disappointed to find this specimen fish bleeding badly in the net, as seen on a further photo above. That's the trouble with the Collie-Dog at times - A mixture of emotions all around.
