When doing research on the iconic sea-trout angler Hugh
Falkus, we came across his permit for fishing the Strathspey waters back in
1981. Below is his ermit and a map of
the waters them, plus an up to date webpage of the club in 2015. We hope you
will find that of interest.
The Spey is also
acknowledged to be the best sea-trout river in Scotland
and one of the top three rivers in Britain. Our Association water
consistently produces 20% of the Spey's rod-caught sea-trout.
Please feel free to
browse our site to gather information about the history of our Speyside club,
how it is run and for whom. There is a pictorial tour of the river and its 32
named pools, a photo gallery of some specimens and events from past and present
plus news and views on angling matters.

The Association has
been frequented over the years by many well known angling figures, Tommy
Edwards, Arthur Oglesby and Hugh Falkus to name but a few, each rated the
fishing at Grantown highly as does Andrew Graham - Stewart writing in Trout and
Salmon:
" The banks are
well looked after, even manicured in places. There is clearly a great determination
to maintain the club's pre-eminent position among associations."
Praise indeed and good
to know that we are lucky to have what is probably the best Association water
in the country.
