Willie 'The Ghillie' Laird
Here's the man responsible for my involvement in the salmon fishing world. For those who remember him he was an absolute 'topper' of a man and still greatly missed by many. This 'lucky charm' rod label ensures contact with our 'salmon god' as I am convinced Willie will be one of his closest pals. If I told you how this picture came to be a lucky charm on my Monteith Spey rods you wouldn't believe me !

Speycasting Tuition River Tay
- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
Why non treat yourself to a total easy to understand insight into the ease of Speycasting. Communication is everything and no one leaves my tuition without a full understanding of this cast and the little things that make it flow. I also teach how to hook a salmon on the fly which unchecked accounts for many missed opportunities for many fly fishers each season.
