Well, what can you say other than just 2 fish for the week, 8 & 10lbs both caught by Dennis P one on the fly the other on a Kynock, one from Murthly 1 with Donald, the other from Murthly 2 with Tony. But perhaps the score did paint a slightly worse picture than the […]

Murthly on Tay 10th April 2015
Water back up again, 2ft 10ins on Tony’s gauge and once again the blazing sun shone from a cloudless sky!!!! Even more frustrating was that I lost a fish in the meetings on for a minute of so. I did point out that had Tony not chosen a fly he had tied, for me it […]
Murthly on Tay 9th April 2015
Unbelievable. Unbroken sunshine all day and fishing in shirtsleeves. Its the beginning of April for heavens sake! Water level stubbornly refuses to drop, no doubt due to snow melt from the highlands. We did see a small run of fish go through at about 2.30pm but they weren’t stopping for us. Frustrating or what?
Murthly on Tay 8th April
Water holding rather frustratingly at just around the 2ft mark and another day of blazing sunshine not helping our cause. Notwithstanding, Dennis P promptly added a second fish to his tally taken from Tonys boat at the meetings on Stenton, a sea-liced 12 pounder. We didn’t see a fish on the upper beat all day […]
Murthly on Tay 7th April 2015
River has dropped a little to about 2ft on the gauge which just brings the lower water into a fishable height. Better day too with high cloud to break up the brightest sun. As a consequence we got off the mark with a sea liced 8lb fish for Dennis P fishing a cascade from the […]
Murthly on Tay 6th April 2015
I should be reporting bitterly cold conditions and fresh fish creeping through on cold high water… Err no, try 21 degrees, blazing sunshine, shirtsleeves and a very awkward water height. The height at which fish just motor through and stop for nothing. We saw a couple of fish on the Upper Water but not even […]
Tay before we go
Just had a chat with Donald… Water is still 4ft on the old gauge (just under 3ft on the Caputh gauge) and at that awkward height for Murthly, but they lost two yesterday and have seen fish running through. Tony Black on Stenton has had 2 this week so far. Numbers for the system seem […]
Trout course 27th March 2015
It has been a late spring here at the farm – the frogs in the lakes have still not yet spawned. The weather has kept water temperatures down, which is a good thing, but also the anglers away. Just two novices for my first course of 2015, Ray and Paul braved the rain in the morning […]
CLA Game Fair – important notice
The CLA Game Fair will be at Harewood House in Yorkshire this year over the weekend 31st July to 2nd of August. It is with considerable sadness however that I must announce that I have been stood down this year and will not be going. I cannot complain though as I have thoroughly enjoyed my […]
Trout Courses & Fishing spring 2015
I have just posted up dates for three trout courses and some available dates for groups wanting to come and enjoy a day fishing for trout here at Little Saxbys Farm in the Spring. Click here to book It is worth mentioning that whilst some think it would be nice to wait for warmer weather, the […]
