Spey – Wester Elchies

John Ashley-Cooper said that Wester Elchies has perhaps the finest pools of all. The beat is some two and a half miles long. It is single (left) bank, secluded with easy access to most pools. Wester Elchies is split into two beats, each fished by three rods, and anglers change daily after lunch. There are two huts, one for each beat; both have cooking facilities and a fridge. Anglers are expected to follow the Spey Board’s conservation policy as a minimum and anglers should expect to fish by fly. The beat has fishing during times of drought and spate. Fish are caught throughout the season from opening week to the closing day. There is a full time ghillie, 9 am to 5 pm, six days a week.
