Not off the Spey, but I've had them from the Tay and the Leven (usually early and late in the salmon season).
Last year I was talking to a trout angler on the Tay and he was bemoaning the fact that he had only managed a couple of small plucks to his flies. Just as I was speaking to him I hooked and landed a 2lb brownie on a 1.5" Willie Gunn. I suggested he tried one; he didn't look too impressed!!!

I'll take trout gear Graham,but hope not to use it.Don't want to appear kind of defeatist on the salmon front.
