Post script 14th April 2016 – Having reported below, to prove the water height importance at Murthly, Donalds new group got 6 fish from the Lower Water on Monday including a 20 pounder and has had another three that I know about since. Water height 1ft 6ins! Well that’s two consecutive years when the weather […]

Tay report 8th April 2016
At last water down to a near sensible height (2ft 1ins) and as predicted a lot more activity. Several pulls reported by different rods and a fish lost for John E on the Green Bank. But at least we did managed to land a brace of nice fresh 10 pounders for the book. One for John M from […]
Tay Report 7th April 2016
Water dropping to 2ft 3ins and clear. Other than a couple of fish seen and a nicely performed backward summersault into the back water just above the Burn pool by Simon C, there was very little doing until Graham M managed to hook and land a nice fresh fish of about 10lbs on fly from the […]
Tay report 6th April 2016
Water dropping back. About 2ft 8ins on arrival this morning at the lower hut. Should have been just coming to the ideal height and the weather remained good, but we only saw one fish all day which was running up the middle of Sparrowmuir and we ended with nothing to show for our efforts. New team on tomorrow, […]
Tay report 5th April 2016
Water up to 4ft and slightly coloured, but did start to drop during the afternoon. Sidi had a good pull in the Girnals and we saw several fish moving during the day but nothing to show for our efforts on either beat. I repeat, Murthly just does not fish well at this height. More rain […]
Tay report 4th April 2016
Stop Press: No sooner written and published the report below when Nick D returned from fishing the left bank of the Garth, having landed a nice fresh fish of 7lbs and lost another of about 10lbs. Well done Nick! Earlier… Water 3ft on the gauge on arrival and rising after steady rain all day. Exactly what happened to […]
Courses 29th & 30th March 2016
Despite storm Katie’s best efforts to spoil the fishing for my novices on Tuesday and Wednesday by dirtying the water with the run off from over an inch of rain, we were very successful. The fish were well up in the water feeding on buzzer and some early olives and we managed to get everyone […]
Trout season opens!
We opened the new trout season at the Farm yesterday and what a cracking day. Chris J, ever the early bird, was down at the lakes by 7.30 and even though it was still pretty cold, he connected after about half an hour, landing our first trout of the season. […]
New season approaches!
Nearly there! The new season starts for us at the Farm on Friday with the new syndicate still in its infancy – not too late to join! The water is clearing after the deluge of a week ago and seems set fair for the time being and the fish all went in and away safely. The […]
New Trout Syndicate at the farm.
At Little Saxbys Farm, I have two small lakes set in the stunningly beautiful Wealden countryside where I have traditionally offered a variety of fishing and instruction. The lakes are stocked both with rainbow and brown trout, insect life is prolific and I have an impressive hatch of Mayfly in the Spring which gives some […]
