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.
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 Salmon fishing & courses availability
MURTHLY 8th – 13th 2019 – I have now had responses from my Murthly regulars, only to hear that one poor chap’s daughter has decided to get married at that time and he cannot go. Thus I have one rare spare space on the Monday to Wednesday Improvers and one rod remaining on the three […]
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 […]
Murthly Tay 4th April 2018
River 1ft 1inch on Caputh gauge and clear, after fairly heavy overnight snow. The drive down to the beat was entertaining but the snow melted as the day went on. Two of our rods went home early, not liking the wintry conditions, but the rest of the team fished most of the day. At least […]
Murthly Tay 3rd April 2018
Water 11″ on Caputh gauge and clear but cold, near perfect conditions. Cold wind in the morning and cold rain in the afternoon. At this height we should be seeing fish come through but we are not, so nothing to report. Its no use playing a good tune to an empty house, we need a […]
Murthly on Tay April 2nd
Water height 1ft on the Caputh gauge and clear. A good height. But a biting cold east wind made conditions very tough and the fishing effort suffered accordingly. As I write it has started snowing! We did see a couple of fish and Colin the Stenton ghillie had a 12 pounder today, but nothing for […]
