Given the Spey angling cast is named after one of its rivers, Scotland is clearly well connected with fly fishing, the sport in which this cast is used. With its justly-famous waters, the country is understandably celebrated for sport fishing, but sadly it is an activity that is also responsible for a number of Scottish accident claims.
Sport anglers, when learning the Spey cast (among others), should be taught when certain casts are appropriate, as they may be dangerous at other times. The Spey cast, for example, should not be used in strong winds as it becomes uncontrollable, and the barbs of the fly may hurt the angler who used the cast, or a neighbour on the bank.
Similarly, great care should be taken regarding the area one fishes from; a 2008 case of an angler whose weight was snagged in undergrowth behind him made the papers when he tugged it free with sufficient force to have the inch-long piece of lead pierce his body. The majestic islands that allow sea fishing can also cause problems, as the sad holiday accident case in which a man died after he was swept from the coast of Islay while angling.
If inappropriate or insufficient training can be shown to be the reason for such personal injury, a compensation claim may be viable. Similarly, if a shoddily-constructed or negligently maintained boat or pier were to collapse under a person engaged in fishing, the resulting accident injury may be compensable.
