	Spey River, Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spey is unusual in that it increases speed as it flows closer to the coast, due to the surrounding geography.
		The Spey railway bridge (now pedestrianised) Spey Bay to Garmouth was originally designed with the main span over the main flow of the river, however before construction was completed the river had changed its course and was running at one end of the bridge.
		The river is also known for the quality of its salmon and trout fishing, including a particular genre of fly fishing that uses a unique two-handed fly rod (commonly known as a 'spey rod') and the 'spey casting' style, both developed in Scotland.

	Spey Casting 101
		Named for the Spey River in Scotland – where the river is wide and the rocks and trees make a conventional back-cast virtually impossible – it is a great technique to have in your repertoire whenever you encounter similarly challenging geography.
		The “C” Spey is accomplished anytime the tip of the rod or top hand traces that curved elliptical shape in the air in place of the cut or Snap which moves in a straight line.
		Spey casting will open up a whole new world of fishing to those brave enough to try it because the fly stays in the water longer — and that’s where the fish are.

		Scotland was an independent kingdom until James VI succeeded to the English Crown in 1603; and it continued constitutionally separate from England until the conclusion of the treaty of union a century later.
		The proposal was favourably received in Scotland; but while the eight-year-old queen was on her way from Orkney, and the realm was immediately divided by rival claimants to the throne, John de Baliol and Robert Bruce, both descended from a brother of William the Lion.
		Scotland was the last state in Christendom to adhere to the antipope, and only in 1418 declared her allegiance to the rightful pontiff, Martin V.

	The River Spey
		The Spey is the second longest river in Scotland and owes much of its character to two major events.
		The Spey and its tributaries are home to four species - the Atlantic salmon, otter, freshwater pearl mussel and sea lamprey - that are rare, threatened or endangered in Europe.
		A map of the Spey deceives as it informs, for it can’t show the subtleties of the river’s flow, the light and shade of its landscape or the complex ‘web of life’ that links water, plants and animals.
