Having not posted since my April Salmon courses I thought I should mention that I am at least still here first. No thanks to a very nasty six or so weeks of “new” Covid, bought back from India by Jacky. And this after (I might add for the record) having had Covid in early 21 […]

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 […]
Trout & Salmon Courses 2022
Trusting that you are well and have come through the Covid ordeal without too much pain or sadness, I have just posted up the initial dates for my Trout & Salmon Courses in 2022. See dates and prices in my shop. There are not many places left on the salmon courses because most of my […]
TROUT SEASON 2021 OPENS AT THE FARM
17th March 2021. Our season opens at the farm. Good fishing conditions except that a chilly easterly breeze produced a slightly slow start for the always early Chris J – Note that we are avoiding the usual group opening day due to Covid restrictions. But by mid morning it had warmed and several fish were […]
My on-line tackle shop now closed. 18th May 2020
With effect from todays date, I have taken the difficult decision to close my on-line tackle shop. Furthermore, unless or until I can find someone interested in taking on my ArrowHead tackle brand, I intend to bow out of the fishing tackle sector by the end if this year. This has nothing to do with […]
Season Opens and Corvid 19
Firstly, I hope you are all safe and well in these difficult times. Well at least we managed to get the trout season underway here at the farm, with the first fish of the season to John P. Mild conditions and astonishingly clear water, given all the rain recently and a good hatch of midge, […]
Coronavirus update 16th March
By Michael Evans on March 16, 2020 in Facebook, International Rivers, Latest News, Little Saxbys Farm, River Tay
Although I am following the national news on a daily basis, as no doubt are you, I am still intending to run my courses at the farm, my Scottish courses and fishing and international trips as scheduled. I think we are all a lot safer out fishing than just about anywhere else!
Trout Course 23rd March 2019
Another perfect day conditions-wise. Mild, overcast and a slight breeze. As ever on my courses, the morning spent learning the basics of assembling the kit, casting, fishing techniques and entomology and then the afternoon fishing. A good midge hatch assisting our efforts and a first brace of trout for John B in addition to the […]
Great opening day!
The trout season at Little Saxbys Farm opened on Wednesday with perfect conditions, mild overcast and a light breeze. Compared to last year when Ron R. was the only syndicate member to brave the snow on opening day, we had a full compliment this year and a great result. 3 first fish for Maggie W. […]
