Salmon Fly Fishing | Grantown Association (SAIA) | River Spey | March 2023

- Опубликовано: 6 май 2023
- On my last fishing adventure of March 2023 I re-visit the Strathspey Angling Improvement Association waters, otherwise referred to as the Grantown Association. In March 2022 this was one of my first ever videos that saw me film further upstream. In this video I fished the pools nearer to Grantown itself.
S.A.I.A. leases approximately 6½ miles of double bank salmon and trout fishing on the river Spey with 12 miles of double bank on the River Dulnain. Our fishings include Upper Castle Grant water of the Spey with approximately 2 miles of mouth watering fly fishing water from the New Bridge down to Slop Thomas.
Hi, my name is Chris and my channel is called Cornish Chris the Fish. I am a Cornishman venturing out beyond the Duchy (of Cornwall) to experience life on the road full time touring in my Caravan Dalleth Arta, fly fishing for Salmon and vlogging my adventures. I am charting my salmon fly fishing adventures and will profile each fishery that I attend. I may even catch a few fish 😀. All views are my own good or bad.
Fishing Set Up: Alot of people like to know my set up and currently I fish with two different set ups depending on conditions and the size of river.

FISHDEE 24 - Hey everyone, along with my friends Russ and Calum we've entered a 24 hour fishing marathon supporting the River Dee Trust. Fishing means many things to many people, such as getting out in the fresh air and into the elements, this has never been more important for our physical and mental health over recent years.
The River Dee Trust is delighted that we have a great group of individuals from all over the U.K who will come together to share an experience of a lifetime and make memories with new people, all while raising funds for the River Dee Trust and our conservation and restoration programmes to protect our iconic Wild Atlantic Salmon on the River Dee in Scotland.
As Team "Relentless Fishers" we are aiming to raise £1500 between us for this very worthy cause and I hope you will consider donation / sponsoring our fund raising efforts - and of course the whole 24 hour event will be covered in my channel.

Thank you Chris. First time I’ve actually seen this water. Looking forward to following in your footsteps in a couple of weeks.
How did you get on at Tweedswood, I was there tiday myself, nothing showing?
Waow 👍👍
👍
Nice catch!
Thanks 👍
Chris I fished the Grantown Association water many years ago, when it was a £10 for the week. One of my favourite pools was the Junction pool with the Dulnane mouth, with the Spey, A bit further up from pool 20 were you were fishing, A good pool for salmon to rest. Give it a try if you fish the Spey again.
Back in June so will take a look at it Brian, thanks for the advice 👍
Yet another Sunday cracker! Chris, please don't have your rucksack strap over your lifejacket, if the lifejacket went off it would not be pretty - stay safe 😉
Cheers Steve 👍
They are beautiful coloured trout off the spey aren't they. I've often driven past parts of the association water but never fished it. Is it right bank only there?
Erm I can't remember, but there are 11 miles.of fishing in the association water available on day and week tickets. Just search Strathspey Angling Improvement Association SAIA in Google for all the details
@@CornishChrisTheFish thanks I will have a look. Wanting to try fishing a bit more on the spey I had two days at the end of April at middle brae and lower brae but alas only a trout to show for it.
@@hardlinesangling so that's Middle and Lower at Gordon Castle? Out of all their beats, the best is Castle Water in my opinion as is the ghillie and the hut
@CornishChrisTheFish yes it was those two beats. Hopefully I will be back next year to fish all of them over the course of a week. I could only do two days this year and it happened to be those beats on those days.
were you in the far north at all? Sure I saw you at Dornoch Bridge.
Not me Kenneth 👍
Braw wee troot
👍
The association water featured, which is over fished and not very good, I spent years salmon fishing and wasted a lot of time there, if you want to catch a salmon on a fly there are better places even though they may be from rivers not as strongly associated with fly fishing for salmon as the Spey is, I would try the Tay for starters. Good luck.
Thanks for watching, you should check out my current Tay videos
