I've been reading John Ashley-Cooper's The Great Salmon Rivers of Scotland (published in 1980, updated 1987) noticed that he has specifically pointed out the skill the Ness spey casters who fish the Association water (p. 151). With the success of Scott Mackenzie at the Musto (and elsewhere) and that Grant himself was a Ness regular one has to ask is there anything particular to the style of these casters? (more than just perfect technique)
Seeing so much about Skagit style written I'm curious to know if there is anything specific to "Ness-style" casting that is unique? If JAC was so impressed I'd like to give the Ness regulars the opportunity to elaborate.

BTW - The pictures from the opener in Scotland are awesome. I'd like to visit the homeland to see that some day.
