looks like it would take a bit of speyside to keep you warm.
Just a wee dram, no really with modern thermal clothing i had a great 3 days on Speyside foloowed by a week on the Dee this febuaryOriginally Posted by rayfound
Heres another photo
the Hut in the distance belongs to the Macallan distillery ,when I go up there the Inn we stay in is just by the Fiddich burn as in Glennfiddich!
Another veiw of the Macallan Hut, the distillery is not very scenic its self !
Hut is putting it crudely ,not been over but I beleive its carpetted and has hot and cold running water and flush toilets !
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
bbrrrrrrr.....childhood memories come flooding back. Seasonal change. Crisp mornings, Hazy summers, fallen leaves, snow drifts....Wonderful pics, Doctor.
Thanks,

This was the result a few days later,it swan away strongly,the urge to eat one like this is so strong ,but they are such aprecious resource !
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!Originally Posted by Doctor
