This is becoming ridiculous, water down to 1’8″ yesterday afternoon and back up to over 2′ again today. They had 3 on the upper water yesterday and 4 off newtyle. We saw fresh fish hammering through and never got a pull!

Tay report 12th May 2014
Water up again on heavy showers in the west yesterday. A few fish seen running through but nothing to show for our efforts yet again!
Tay report 10th May 2014
Water remained irritatingly just to high for us to reach any running fish and too high to stop the ones we saw. Cecil d saved the blank with a 3 lb sea trout but what a disappointment only 2 fish for the week, I think the worst week I have ever had – though I […]
Tay report 9th May 2014
We seem dogged by fluctuating water heights this year. The lower beat up by over 6ins yesterday on more overnight rain and it’s still raining! One fish lost after a brief but furious fight in the boat pool. Typical of a running fish just nipping the fly as it ran through, which is what happens […]
Tay report 8th May 2014
Water up over 6ins and slightly coloured. A few fish seen on the upper water but not sure any we’re fresh and nothing to show for our efforts. Interestingly the number of fish through the dam so far this year is a small fraction of the number through this time last year. Are they yet […]
Tay report 7th may 2014
Water up 4 ins on overnight rain and slightly coloured. 2 encounters with one landed a lovely fresh 12lb fish for Andrew p from the left bank of the Garth.
Tay report 6th may 2014
Water steady at 1ft 4ins and overcast. Nothing in the morning then just as we started going out in the afternoon there were fish showing everywhere but they were through and gone before our team got going. Only Cecil d had a brief encounter. Just before lunch they got 3 on glen delving!!!
Tay report 5th may 2014
Water height 1ft 4ins, overcast and mild. 2 encounters both from the left bank of the boat pool and both on the fly. The first hooked by roger b and lost after a minute and the second lost in the afternoon almost at the net by David m. Otherwise zip.
Boxalls 1st May 2014
Well, well… Ron R has always been the Midas of the weather in all the time he has been coming here and yet yesterday was a pretty damp, dull day so obviously even the boss is sometimes out to lunch when you need him! So, the rain really spoiled the best of the Mayfly hatches but between downpours the fish still […]
Trout day at Little Saxbys Farm 22nd April 2014
Doesn’t take long but it makes a significant difference to the results… On Friday we saw the first of the Mayfly hatches this year but the fishing was really quite difficult. The fish seem frightened of these flies and reluctant to feed. Yesterday it was all change. In just four days the fish have wised up to […]
