Chris, it's called fishing not catching for a reason, don't worry about the lack of fish. I fished the Forres Association beat from 1980 until 2002, when I emigrated to Australia. I know how hard it is to get a springer from that beat. I visited there last year and was lucky enough to get a grilse on my first day out, from the run you fished at the Cloddy pool. All my fishing is now done in Tasmania for wild browns and stocked rainbows. If you ever get "Down under" I can take you out in my boat, if you bring some Tiddly Oggies with you. Lovely video, thank you.

Beautiful water and Scenery. Just looking forward to you catching a huge Salmon! My family came from Forress in the 1870's -1890's so interesting to see my ancestral homeland. Regards and tight lines from down-under in New Zealand.

Chris, another great video as always. Keep the Faith, could be that this was the last day of your fairly long trip but you seemed a somewhat 'jaded'. I expect once you have recharged then you will already be looking forward to your next trip - weeks beforehand!!! Thanks again.

Great video Chris. Looked like there was a decent bit of water for your trip. Nairn fly has had 2 fish out of red craig from the caravan park side this year. I've been meaning to go back again but I've not had the chance to yet.

@josedasilva4293 as far as I'm aware you drive round to the other side. I didn't fish that pool from the other side when I was there as there were a few people fishing the pool when I went last.

Thanks Brian, apparently there is a touring site nearby but I haven't stayed it it. I would avoid the Culloden CAMC, terribly uneven pitches, difficult to get level. I prefer staying at the site at Grantown-on-Spey, it's only a 30 minute drive to Forres. If you do stay at the one next to the river please let me know what you think 👍

Good stuff Cornish, great video once again. I, myself am a proper rookie at this game,(trout fished for as long as I can remember)but onlyfished for springers on two occasions just after Easter, at the Abernethy beat, on the Spey. I base out of Nethy Bridge when I get up, and am looking forward to my week at Forres, beginning June. Was just wondering as we are in the similar neck of the woods, I'm in Dorset, are there any decent salmon venues down in the South West, have you tried any. Will always head up to the Highlands for it as I have family up there, but was interested in something local. TIA.

Hey thanks for that, other than the Tamar and the Camel i am not to sure about rivers closer to you. The Camel at Butterwell Farm is pretty good back end and closes in December, the Tamar is hit and miss. Good luck on the Findhorn lovely river

Good stuff Chris, but I think I can hear a little bit of resignation creeping into your voice there. I know it can be a little discouraging when you're casting yourself sore and not catching, but keep your head up lad. It will come, you just need to put yourself in the right place and time. You've done it before.
