Yesterday the blazing sun and freezing wind finally lessened and we had some cloud cover in the afternoon. Three fish were seen moving through and Stuart O hooked one in the Glide which fell off after a few minutes, most likely due to a damaged hook from a back cast hitting a stone. Always keep […]

We are after Silver Salmon but all we managed were Brass Monkeys! Bitterly cold downstream wind, this afternoon, directly from the north with occasional added sleet and hail. In fairness to the team they all stuck it out until about 4.30. Then went back to the hut for a warm cup of tea… and of […]
Dalmarnock, Tay 31st March 2022
First internet connection since Tuesday… Water 1ft 3in on the gauge and crystal clear. A perfect height for the river. Yesterday we enjoyed sun, cloud, strong cold downstream winds, hail and snow. Certainly tested my team but they covered the water well on their third day of the course, but sadly without reward. The beats […]
Tay 29th March 2022 We’re back!
What a great feeling to be back on the Tay for my spring courses after two years of Covid famine! Glorious weather greeted us on the journey up and on the river yesterday with the water at a nice height. This week on Dalmarnock and yesterday the first day of the first of my three […]

Following the Government’s decision to close all pubs clubs restaurants and bars, The Royal have had no alternative but to close for a minimum of one month from today.

Coronavirus update 20th March
With most of those who have booked dropping out of the Dalmarnock courses, I have spoken to Colin and we have taken the decision to try to postpone the first week, hopefully until later this summer or until next spring if necessary. The fishing remains available for anyone who wants to or can still go. […]

Firstly, I hope you are all safe and well in these difficult times. Well at least we managed to get the trout season underway here at the farm, with the first fish of the season to John P. Mild conditions and astonishingly clear water, given all the rain recently and a good hatch of midge, […]
