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 […]
The Tay 31st March 2018
As we head to Scotland, the river is just coming down to a nice height at 1’5″ on the Caputh Gauge. And, as I would expect as the river comes down to this level and the Murthly beats start holding fish, Donald had a fish yesterday and on Thursday. Also of note is that a […]
Varzuga 2018
Although I am very sadly unable to go this year myself, Charlie has just informed me that 2 rods have come available in my traditional week 18th – 26th May. This is what I think is the best week on what is probably the most productive Atlantic salmon fishing anywhere in the world – and […]
Opening day at Little Saxbys Farm
I think I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Ron was the only member who braved the elements and he was suitably rewarded with several nice fish. A long lunch ensued!
Our Trout season opens on Monday
With yet more of the roller coaster weather ride to come – they are warning of more snow at the weekend – we kick off our new season on Monday. A bi-product of the weather is that the lakes are in fine fettle, the big lake just a hint of colour but the smaller lake […]
Tay spring course
I had to cancel the previous booking for my Dalmarnock basic course because it clashed with the Easter weekend and virtually no-one could make the dates. By way of a part alternative, Colin still has rods available for the three days 5th 6th & 7th April and I will be around in the mornings to […]
Tay Dalmarnock Course dates to change
Just to let you know that I have had so many people wanting this Salmon course, but cannot do the dates because 29-31st March is Easter weekend that I am going to re-schedule with Colin. I will post the new dates as soon as possible.
