A great opportunity to enjoy learning salmon fly fishing techniques and casting from international fly fishing instructor, writer and inventor of some of the World’s best salmon flies Ally Gowans APGAI. Alexander Taylor, author of superb book “The Longest Cast” says “Ally Gowans – you’ll never find a finer fly fisherman anywhere in the world, and he’s a streak of luck like you’ve never seen. Learning from him was a pleasure.”
“Spey Casting Made Easy” is an all-inclusive package that aims to teach efficient salmon fly casting and fly fishing (including a fly tying evening) and is suitable for beginners or more experienced anglers. They will learn how to cast easily and efficiently and how to assess conditions to employ the most likely tactics for success with salmon fishing.

In addition. course participants can practice their new found skills with Ally on the Dunfallandy and West Haugh beat of the River Tummel on Monday April 13, a good time for spring salmon on this beat.
