This is our main stretch of water covering six miles of double bank fishing on the famous River Spey, with 15 named pools and the best Sea Trout fishing on the river system.

In excess of 260 Sea Trout and 145 Salmon were taken from these waters in the 2008 Season, with the best Salmon weighing-in at 20lbs and the best Sea Trout at 7lbs.

Fly, spinning and bait fishing are permitted, however, some pools become fly only in the summer months. A 9-10ft trout rod and waders should be used, with Ally Shrimp, Munro Killer, Silver Stoats Tail and Willie Gunn flies offering the best return.

The season runs from February to September, with the best months for Salmon generally between mid-April to June and September. The best Sea Trout fly fishing is done during the short nights of June and July.

The Abernethy Waters provide the best value for money fishing on the River Spey.
