Scottish Salmon Fisherman on the River Spey Grantown Inverness-shire Highland Region Scotland GFI 1007-14
Scotland has great Atlantic salmon fishing. Famous rivers, Spey, Tay, Dee, Tweed, Helmsdale, Nith and more. The hundreds of rivers and burns in Scotland are home to many, many thousands of salmon, some of which swim a long way into the mountains to reach their home pools to spawn and start another cycle of their amazing life story. The young salmon grow in our clean waters for a few years before starting their epic journeys to the salt water feeding grounds via the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Some of them reach the Davis Straight on the west coast of Greenland before heading home again, a distance of 6000 miles as the crow flies! On their return they battle their way past nets, killer whales, dolphins and the thousands of seals that prey upon them around the coasts. The survivors, a small percentage of those that hatched in our rivers return home safely to reproduce and provide thrilling sport for the angler fortunate enough to encounter them. Scottish salmon fishing seasons for various river systems. GFI 1007-14
