Join us on FishPal’s Facebook at 11am this morning - our guest is 3 times world Spey casting champion and rod designer Scott Mackenzie @mackenzie_dtxWell done Eugene last week he caught spring fish off the River TYNE and this week a fish of a lifetime off the River FINDHORN. Findhorn “Springers” tend to be big and agressive taking fish with our best salmon in recent years weighing around 34 lbs’ says Ian Neale. James and Eugene fished Altyre Estate. Altyre Estate is situated on the Lower Findhorn River and is about two miles below the Poolie Falls at Sluie on Darnaway and some five miles above the tidal sea pool on the Forres Angling Association water. The Altyre Estate fishing is divided into two beats, fishing off the right hand bank. Altyre offers just over two and a half miles of salmon and sea trout fishing for up to four rods. There are some fourteen named pools winding through magnificent red sandstone outcrops. The Upper Beat is fished from Soldiers' Hole Pool down to the Scur Pool. The Lower Beat is fished from the Roan Pool down to the Lime Kilns Pool. The river here is easy to fish and therefore, perfect for both the beginner and the more experienced casters. The Altyre fishing also offers a good mix of high and low water pools on both beats. There is good vehicular access to most of the pools, which makes it suitable to anglers of more limited mobility. This beat has fished consistently well over the Spring months from March through to June. James Stokoe said “Biggest salmon I’ve ever seen or netted.” “I’ve can happily say that I’ve just experienced the greatest Angling moment and achievement that I will probably have in my lifetime”. “It was an absolute honour to be part of this catch of a lifetime, and it couldn’t of happened to a more deserving person. At 5 pm Eugene and myself landed this Incredible Findhorn spring salmon, something neither of us thought we would ever see in our lifetime, and I had the pleasure of netting this fish”. #fishing #flyfishing #findhorn #fishpal #fishfindhorn #flyfishingscotland #gonefishing21 salmon and 3 sea trout so far, including this lovely one off Junction, on a quiet week on Tweed. If you can’t go fishing during these worrying times, doing something that will keep your mind positive is important for your mental well being.

David Robson fishing Newbie beat on the River caught this 10lb plus hen fish. She was safely returned. He said "No trophy shots just go her back to continue her journey" A days fishing on Newbie beat is £20 in April #fishannan #fishpal #gofishing #fishing #visitscotland #riverannanNothing stops you fishing - we love this photograph from @joysafaribay - give them a followHappy Monday #fishingAli Hutchens is hosting a fully guided and inclusive fishing excursion to Newfoundland during its prime salmon season from 19th to 27th July. This is the first time anyone from the UK will have fished this private water and you will be fishing in areas where Atlantic salmon and Brook trout have not seen a fly cast over them. It is a wild and untouched place in one of the most prolific areas on the planet. This truly is a fishing adventure! Not only is it during the prime salmon season, but it is also the peak season to see the world’s largest population of humpback whales return to Newfoundland to feed on capelin, krill, and squid along the coast. #fish #fishing #fishinglife #canada #newfoundland #whale #whalewatching #iceberg #wildlife #adventure #travelJon has just returned from 2 days fishing on the Helmsdale and wanted to share this great photo of Jock Miller with a big fish caught on Mon 2nd March in the Marrel pool on beat 1.

The fish, estimated at 12lbs A special word of thanks to all the anglers who wet a line with us since the start of the season, in pursuit of what is becoming, the ever more elusive early spring salmon. #fishing #fishing🎣 #riverdrowes #ireland #fishpal #visitirelandMr Duncan braved the cold conditions and whilst his line was swinging around in the Back Dam Pool it tightened. What ensued next was a terrific fight after which Mr Duncan landed a 17-pound fin perfect Tay salmon. The fish took a fly tied by Ghillie Mr. Robert White. This was the first fish of the season from the Stanley beats and hopefully the first of many this season. #rivertay #stanleybeat #fishtay #perthshire #salmonfishing #visitscotland
