Thanks, I continue to learn. Next thing I will have to try before I leave the planet would be to shoot a few English birds with some upstart American shotgun !!

yeah - me too. I went to Scotland a few years back with the plan to do some walk up shooting for grouse and salmon fishing. We planned well ahead but the spring before the trip, the grouse population crashed, so the estate let me switch to stalking. Took a couple nice red deer stags, but I still want to go back for grouse.

So, how did the walk up shooting for salmon work out?

it might have worked better than the spey casting, I stalked deer on the hill for two days in pouring rain, which all ran downhill to the River Spey which at or near flood stage by the time I fished, so no fish were taking.
