Upper Water: Water down a little on yesterday, still a good height for Murthly. But steady rain all day did not make the fishing much fun. The blazing log fire in the hut log burner was rather more of a draw than the two fish that were seen! Donald saw a big fish (20+ he […]

Murthly Castle 4th April 2022
Wonderful to be back on Murthly Castle water after a gap of three years! Lower water: Height about 1ft 3ins and rising. Donald thought this was from the Dam generating. Gale force winds in the morning, eased in the afternoon. We saw a number of fish in the Ministers, one fish in the Boat pool […]
2nd April 2022 Dalmarnock, Tay.
Best fishing day of the week so far, light cloud and mild conditions. water about 1ft on the gauge. Saw one fish, I suspect the one we lost yesterday, in the Glide, but that was it. Not a touch. Very disappointing. Off to Murthly on Monday.
Dalmarnock, Tay 2nd April 2022
Yesterday the blazing sun and freezing wind finally lessened and we had some cloud cover in the afternoon. Three fish were seen moving through and Stuart O hooked one in the Glide which fell off after a few minutes, most likely due to a damaged hook from a back cast hitting a stone. Always keep […]
31st March 2022
We are after Silver Salmon but all we managed were Brass Monkeys! Bitterly cold downstream wind, this afternoon, directly from the north with occasional added sleet and hail. In fairness to the team they all stuck it out until about 4.30. Then went back to the hut for a warm cup of tea… and of […]
Dalmarnock, Tay 31st March 2022
First internet connection since Tuesday… Water 1ft 3in on the gauge and crystal clear. A perfect height for the river. Yesterday we enjoyed sun, cloud, strong cold downstream winds, hail and snow. Certainly tested my team but they covered the water well on their third day of the course, but sadly without reward. The beats […]
Tay 29th March 2022 We’re back!
What a great feeling to be back on the Tay for my spring courses after two years of Covid famine! Glorious weather greeted us on the journey up and on the river yesterday with the water at a nice height. This week on Dalmarnock and yesterday the first day of the first of my three […]
Trout season open at the farm
The trout season got well underway at the farm this last week with glorious weather and near perfect conditions. Opening day for the syndicate was held with the traditional lunch after a Covid gap of two years. Chris J caught our first fish of the season, but everyone enjoyed success including Nick J taking a […]
2022 Season looks good to go!
By Michael Evans on February 3, 2022 in Facebook, International Rivers, Latest News, Little Saxbys Farm, River Tay
After one of the mildest (so far) winters on record and the lifting of most Covid restrictions, 2022 is shaping up to be, thankfully, something more normal. TROUT LAKES: Here at the farm, the mild winter has given me the chance to build a new teaching platform, do a full winter weed cut and clear […]
Traquair, Tweed 3rd November 2021
Water was down to 2ft 6ins, just coming back to a better height… just as my week finishes. Another sea trout to at least give a tug but no fish for me. One small grilse was caught by one of the other rods but that was it for our three days on Traquair. BTW, for […]
