Water down to 2ft 4ins and clear, at last getting somewhere near a better height for Murthly. I managed a cracking 15lb hen covered in sea-lice (long live the Prawn!) had another offer and Matthew G lost a fish after a good few minutes, all from the Right Bank of the Tronach. We didn’t see […]

Water still over 3ft for our day on Lower Water, still way too high for holding fish and slightly coloured adding to our woes. Nothing to show for our efforts.
Tay 6th April 2015
Its stopped b…….y raining at last this morning. Water well over 3ft 6ins on the upper water, but at least high enough to bring the fish up the sides. Jon K lost another salmon because his posh reel jammed for a second time, but did manage a 2lb Sea Trout for his pains. Derek C […]
Tay 5th may 2015
update from my phone…. water 2ft 6ins and clearing am, Cecil d lost 2 fish in spruces one of which broke him, before the gales and driving rain made the river rise again and colour. It couldn’t get any worse!
Tay report 4th May 2015
Salmon fishing can be a truly cruel mistress at times… Water at a lovely height for the latter part of last week. Donald had 5 on Saturday bring his total to 11 and Tony 20 for the week. One of the locals had 8 on the Town water by the bridge. Then the heavens opened. […]
The Tay before we go for my May week
Just had a chat with Donald, water height 1ft 6ins on the Caputh gauge and steady. Nice height for Murthly. Donald on Murthly 1 had 9 fish last week and has 4 so far this week, 3 of which came today. Tony on Murthly 2 has had 9 fish so far this week so there […]
Tay Report wk 6th April 15
Well, what can you say other than just 2 fish for the week, 8 & 10lbs both caught by Dennis P one on the fly the other on a Kynock, one from Murthly 1 with Donald, the other from Murthly 2 with Tony. But perhaps the score did paint a slightly worse picture than the […]
Murthly on Tay 10th April 2015
Water back up again, 2ft 10ins on Tony’s gauge and once again the blazing sun shone from a cloudless sky!!!! Even more frustrating was that I lost a fish in the meetings on for a minute of so. I did point out that had Tony not chosen a fly he had tied, for me it […]
Murthly on Tay 9th April 2015
Unbelievable. Unbroken sunshine all day and fishing in shirtsleeves. Its the beginning of April for heavens sake! Water level stubbornly refuses to drop, no doubt due to snow melt from the highlands. We did see a small run of fish go through at about 2.30pm but they weren’t stopping for us. Frustrating or what?
Murthly on Tay 8th April
Water holding rather frustratingly at just around the 2ft mark and another day of blazing sunshine not helping our cause. Notwithstanding, Dennis P promptly added a second fish to his tally taken from Tonys boat at the meetings on Stenton, a sea-liced 12 pounder. We didn’t see a fish on the upper beat all day […]
