    Yep! that looks pretty cold to me. Mind you a wee dram or two of The Famous Grouse one of the finest would perk things up a bit.

    Like the look of those Dark and Mysterious stretches of water. Gets the thought machine into gear in anticipation. Nice Pics. Jax

    Some lovely pictures of a beautiful area; But, I wouldn't want to fish there in the winter! Too cold for me! I'll stick to fishing the Taff (in South Wales) for the silver ladies (Grayling) throughout the winter months!

    Mostyn,
    I spend a fair bit of my winter chacing grayling on the chalk streams,but those springers as shown in the last photo just are fabulous fish.I am fortunate to guest for a couple of days on the Spey and stretch to a couple more day tickets to make the trip up worth while 600 miles odd there and the same back.
    As to the cold aint no such thing just get the right layers underneath your breathables and toasty all day,mind you a couple of years ago was fishing with only a short sleeve Tshirt at midday,only got that warm fishing that season a couple of days in the summer,funny thing that night as we drove out of the valley the tempeature dropped to -6 centigrade,clear sky and no wind !

    Must admit it certainly looks like a beautiful area; and I can tell from your post, that you have some wonderful memories of your fishing exploits to Scotland! Something to cherish in the mind and look back on with pleasure! Thanks for sharing a special place with us!
