VARZUGA TRIP CANCELLED!
Just to let everyone know, I have just received confirmation from Charlie at Roxton’s that our forthcoming trip to Varzuga has been cancelled. For the first time in the 23 years I have been going to Varzuga, the river is still frozen half way through what should have been the first week running now and […]
Autumn three day Salmon Fishing & Speycasting course 25th – 27th September 2017
I have at last got the dates sorted for my autumn courses which I am moving to Dalmarnock on the Tay this September. You can find all the details in my shop under Courses & Tuition – Tay or by clicking here as ever places offered on a first come first served basis. If you […]
Murthly on Tay 7th April 2017
Donald’s comment on the conditions: “If you arrived to fish at this time of year and got these conditions you would think you had won the lottery!” Water 1ft 1ins on Tony’s gauge, 45 degrees, mild and slight cloud, light breeze. So we fished furiously all day for not so much as a pull… until […]
Murthly Castle on Tay 6th April 2017
Perfect water height and lovely fishing conditions. Seen several fish but other than one on for about 3 or 4 minutes on a fly from the boat on the upper water, absolutely nothing to show for our efforts. Strange game this!
Murthly Castle on Tay 5th April 2017
River down to 1ft 5ins on Caputh gauge. Overcast and strong downstream wind making casting on some of the pools tricky. Nothing from the Upper Water but on Stenton fishing in Tony’s boat, just before lunch Cecil D landed a fresh fish of 8lbs. Then, just as soon as they got the boat back out, he immediately […]
Murthly Castle on Tay 4th April 2017
Water 1ft 9in yesterday fining down to 1ft 6ins today and just coming to the right height where we will start to hold fish. Several fish seen today and we had three encounters, two from Donald’s boat on the lower water and one from Tony’s boat on the upper water. Possibly running fish still moving […]
Dalmarnock 1st April 2017
The river level held stubbornly at 3ft on the gauge for the day, dropping barely an inch by close. Frustrated by the awkward height Colin put the boats out for a harl on our last afternoon to see if we could get someone into a fish and he hooked what he reckoned was a big […]
Dalmarnock Tay 31st March 2017
Water rising all day on heaving rain last night and this morning. 3ft on Colin’s gauge as we left and still rising. Several more fish seen going through but they aren’t stopping for anything. Oh bother…. or words to that effect.
Dalmarnock 30th March 2017
Basic course with 6 novices and 3 more experienced rods so not a great deal of water coverage on the first day. But with the River at 2’5″ on Dalmarnock gauge after fairly heavy rain yesterday, it is still a little too high to stop fish running straight through. Fishing conditions were good with a slight upstream […]
