Please let us know your Brown Trout catches also if possible - thanks.
Catch return info is VITAL as it is sent to the Spey Fishery Board and Marine Scotland twice yearly (April to June report & July to September report) to help to identify the health of the fish stock in the river, so your help in completing catch returns as soon as possible would be very much appreciated.
Catch Returns MUST be completed and returned by 10th July & 10th October.
