This is the tail of the Ash Trees pool yesterday afternoon. Loads of salmon are stacked into the neck of this pool at the moment which is always a serious hot spot on Lower Kinnaird.

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 !

Izzy's fine 15 pounder took a size 11 Park Shrimp in the Ash Trees pool of Lower Kinnaird and fought for a full 25 minutes before being landed. Brilliant effort Izzy who also managed to completely master the double Spey cast too.

This is one of the most deadly salmon fly patterns of them all. Personally I found the gold bodied versions absolutely brilliant in the Spring.
