It's the 11th February and the opening of the Spey salmon season has arrived. The picture shows resident ghillie, Jock Royan returning the first fish of the season for the Kinermony beat. The fish is a Kelt or salmon which has successfully spawned in the last season and is now on its way back to the sea. Good luck to it!
