Default what fly for fishing the spey??

Hi all,
I was at the river spey at the assosation water at grantown on spey yesterday (obviously not fishing) but for a look and in the five minutes i was there i saw one salmon at about 15lbs jump, anyway i am fishing it this year again at the end of july and have been fishing it at the assosation water for the last few years and not had much luck so i was wondering if anyone has a favorite fly for fishing for salmon/sea trout on the spey or any other river and if anyone knows any good places/pools on the grantown water??? Any help would be greatly apreciated
Regards,
Tom

I fished the river at Grantown on Spey many years ago and did well with a Munro Killer on a size 8. Sorry I cannot give advice about the water, or current successful Spey flies. You read reports, hundreds of them, of successful catches on Scotlands best salmon river, but never a mention of the flies that were used . It must be a big secret.

I was trawling through magazines and came across the Green Highlander(Spey Pattern) as highly recommended.
