I return to the beautiful Altyre Estate on the River Findhorn at the invitation of Guide Ian Neale from www.speycaster.net
The morning weather was perfect-overcast, calm and cool. The sun popped out and the wind picked up by the afternoon. I had a fantastic time exploring the runs and pools of Altyre. This was my last day on the Findhorn as I was travelling south to fish the River Spey the next morning.

For information on fishing the River Findhorn, visit www.speycaster.net and e-mail Ian for details.
