Last week of the Season 2017.
Well that’s it for 2017, I don’t suppose many will be disappointed to see the season finished.
Gordon Castle had twenty-four for the last week of the season, mainly older fish but the was a fresh sea-liced fish on Saturday afternoon.

Thank you for your reports,thru the season,have read your report in the trout and salmon,somebody, that is not afraid to write the truth,how long before Atlantic salmon are on the endangered, list. The list is already long.the handling of the salmon I see in the later part of the season in the photos,is like holding up a maxi rabbit,these folk must be desperate to get a capture,. Of any sort poor salmon don’t stand a chance if if theirs a pound to be made
Such a shame to see gravid fish being so badly handled
I think you are being very harsh. The Spey is one of the earliest rivers to close and Brian Shaw our Biologist assures me that the majority of Spey fish will not spawn till into November.
Malcolm,Thank you for all your reports this season. I’m sure your hard work is much appreciated by us all.. Especially on a Grand prix Sunday… I had some great times on the Spey this season.. Highlight of which was watching the wife land a lovely 14lb fish ( which gets bigger every time she recounts the tale) below the bridge at Carron.. Enjoy your break and see you in the Spring.
I thought it was above the bridge, or did she catch another?
She only got the one… You are correct, it was just above the bridge…
Many thanks for all your work in putting these reports together, they are much appreciated . Enjoy the rest over the winter.
Malcolm,
Thank you for your work in collating the catches course of the season. It is much appreciated. Great to be able to keep in touch with the river from 500 miles south.
David.
Thank you, Malcolm, for the weekly summaries. Good to keep in touch.
