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 […]
Murthly on Tay 6th April 2018
Water 1ft 2ins on Caputh gauge. Cold and overcast. A small run of fish came through us at about 4.30 whilst Cecil was again in the Boat pool. He had a close encounter for a brief moment but it didn’t stick. He saw several fish move and a few minutes later David S saw them […]
Murthly on Tay 5th April 2018
One extreme to the other, after a very cold night the sun came up and we basked in hot bright sunshine all day. Needless to say that rather spoiled our chances but it was nice to be warm again. Water 1ft on the Caputh gauge and crystal clear… Nothing to report other than Nick L […]
