Fishing the SpeyFishing the SpeyThis magnificent and variable river rises to the west of Laggan in the Monadhliath Mountains and travels a distance of 100 miles before it reaches the sea at Spey Bay. However, it collects the waters from an area much in excess of this, from tributaries, as it flows past the villages of Newtonmore, Kingussie, Aviemore, Grantown-on-Spey, Cbarlestown of Aberlour, Craigellachie, Rothes and Fochabers. It is, in fact, the second longest river in Scotland and world- famous. A matter of record, it is one of the great salmon rivers, however, net fishing ceased at the end of the 1993 season and there is now no commercial netting for salmon within the Spey district.
