River has dropped a little to about 2ft on the gauge which just brings the lower water into a fishable height. Better day too with high cloud to break up the brightest sun. As a consequence we got off the mark with a sea liced 8lb fish for Dennis P fishing a cascade from the […]

Murthly on Tay 6th April 2015
I should be reporting bitterly cold conditions and fresh fish creeping through on cold high water… Err no, try 21 degrees, blazing sunshine, shirtsleeves and a very awkward water height. The height at which fish just motor through and stop for nothing. We saw a couple of fish on the Upper Water but not even […]
Tay before we go
Just had a chat with Donald… Water is still 4ft on the old gauge (just under 3ft on the Caputh gauge) and at that awkward height for Murthly, but they lost two yesterday and have seen fish running through. Tony Black on Stenton has had 2 this week so far. Numbers for the system seem […]
Trout course 27th March 2015
It has been a late spring here at the farm – the frogs in the lakes have still not yet spawned. The weather has kept water temperatures down, which is a good thing, but also the anglers away. Just two novices for my first course of 2015, Ray and Paul braved the rain in the morning […]

Please […]
Diving in Egypt
A bit off topic I know, but many of my fishers also like Scuba diving and you might be interested by my recent trip to Egypt with my kids. I wanted to get away from the tourist traps, avoid the crowds and get Rory and Sasha taught to dive in the comfort and safety of […]
Iceland – East Ranga report on our 3 days
We arrived in Reykavik to tales of woe coming from a number of the Icelandic rivers which have seemingly suffered a complete loss of the main Grilse runs and a lack of water in the North East. However at least on East Ranga, apparently, there were some very big fish being caught. The afternoon […]
