Gleneagles Shooting School Perthshire

Spey Casting On The River Tay

Here's a long line being delivered at 'The Boil' on Newtyle back in October. Traditional Spey action rods and matching Spey tapered lines are well capable of delivering distance without losing the art form elegance which has been lost by the Scandinavian shooting head tackle systems and casting techniques which by comparison are simply ugly.

Phenomenal Fish Stocks

In this day and age with mass interference by mankind in the delicate aquatic & marine environments of the planet, over-fishing & poor management of fisheries it is still good to see fish populations thrive of their own accord. Thankfully, our Atlantic salmon are no strangers to effective reproduction even though some of our species seem to think they can do a better job. The message here is simple - protect the environment of our fish and their baseline broodstock numbers and they will take care of the rest as they have been mysteriously doing since the ice age.
