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 […]

Murthly on Tay 7th April 2015
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 […]
Latest Salmon fishing & Spey Casting courses availability 2015
I have finally managed the usual shuffling of rods taking up their rights of first refusal for next season, with the one or two places now available on my spring salmon courses and fishing at Murthly on Tay and a very rare two places still available on my East Ranga, Iceland trip in July. Please […]
Tay Report Summary May 2014
Well I guess some years you get it just right and others not. After last years record catches in all three of my weeks expectations were high. But constant rain in the west possibly combined with rumours about some gate that wouldn’t close on the Dam at Pitlochry and the water was up and down […]
Tay report 14th May 2014
I hate to say I told you so…. But water down for the first time to a sensible height and a spanking 12 lb sea liced first fish from tail of spruces on a wagtail fly for Andrew h. And several other fish seen holding. If it stays at 1’6″ and below the rest of […]
Tay report 13th May 2014
This is becoming ridiculous, water down to 1’8″ yesterday afternoon and back up to over 2′ again today. They had 3 on the upper water yesterday and 4 off newtyle. We saw fresh fish hammering through and never got a pull!
Tay report 12th May 2014
Water up again on heavy showers in the west yesterday. A few fish seen running through but nothing to show for our efforts yet again!
Tay report 10th May 2014
Water remained irritatingly just to high for us to reach any running fish and too high to stop the ones we saw. Cecil d saved the blank with a 3 lb sea trout but what a disappointment only 2 fish for the week, I think the worst week I have ever had – though I […]
