Occasional showers forecast for us by the BBC for the morning… try torrential rain all morning and into the afternoon. River was rising, we were wet but enthusiasm was not diminished. Several fish seen. Jane S had a brief encounter in the Summerhouse pool, Lars R had a fish boil at his fly with me […]

Dalmarnock 5th April
It has stopped raining at last, however now replaced with blazing sun – are we ever happy? But at least the river is dropping back. Anyway, it was a truly lovely day on the river even if we only saw one fish, which totally ignored a fly put in front of it. Sadly therefore nothing […]
Dalmarnock 5th April 2019
Water 2ft 1in after 7 inch rise during the day yesterday spoiled what were just coming to be perfect conditions, though teaching 5 novices wasn’t giving us much actual fishing. Encouraging to see at least five fish moving through during the day. Hope we might get a chance today.
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. […]
New season approaches!
Well, despite the best efforts of storm Garry to deter us, the new seasons fish went into the lakes today without loss. It is always good to see the lakes stocked. Time to shrug off the winter, dust off the gear and get ready for opening day. The lakes are in fine ply, full but […]
A last minute vacancy on Murthly 11th,12th and 13th April
One of my regulars Desmond A, has been scheduled for a routine, but very inconvenient, operation just prior to our Murthly week this year and cannot now take up his rod for the three days fishing 11th – 13th April. Cost £528 for the fishing, hotel extra around £86 per day DB&B and packed lunch. […]
2019 Spring Courses dates
I have just put up the proposed dates for my 2019 spring salmon and trout courses in the shop under tuition. Salmon Courses: Please note that the Murthly course will show no rods available until I hear back from those who came this year and who therefore have the right of first refusal. The Dalmarnock […]
APOLOGY
I would like to apologise to anyone have difficulty using my site over the past week but we were hit by an e-bomb which resulted in the site host having to suspend the account. 5,900 Chinese e-mails then had to be cleared from our server and mail boxes, so if you have tried to contact […]
Murthly Tay 7th April 2018
Water level 1ft 8ins and rising all day, most probably snow melt, with a bit of colour in it, not helping our cause. The team fished hard for the day but nothing to show for their efforts. 1 fish for the week – albeit a 25lb sea-liced cracker on the fly – is a pretty […]
