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 […]
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 […]
