The History of salmon fishing on the Spey

The River Spey is internationally renowned for its Atlantic salmon fishing. It is one of the best salmon rivers in Scotland, offering superb fly fishing water and unparalleled sport. Fast moving fly water and wonderful scenery abound. Anglers come to Scotland from all over the world to fish here. The majestic River Spey is the birthplace of Spey Casting techniques, now used the world over. Speyside also offers much more than salmon fishing. There are many iconic whisky distilleries to visit, castles, gardens, riverside walks and charming highland villages.

Essential River Spey Information

Spring salmon in February are rare but there’s always a chance if you brave the cold temperatures. In March, good runs of Spring fish start to enter the river, and can be caught in the lower & middle Spey salmon fishing beats. In April & May, bigger runs of Spring fish arrive and fresh run salmon can be throughout the river Spey system. Salmon in the 20-30lbs class, are frequently caught from May onwards each season. Spring salmon average 10lb in weight. The Spring and Summer brings a consistent run of salmon into the river and a good head of sea trout. The fishing on the River Spey in Autumn is prolific, as fresh run salmon arrive to join the resident fish.
