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 […]
One day Trout Course 25th March 2017
What a cracking day! Bright sun and a gusty east wind should have rather spoiled our chances, but mid morning saw the first serious hatch of Alder and the trout were going mad for them. Some big fish too as you can see from the pics. Well done to all who took part and particularly […]
Trout Season opens.
Don’t you just love the weather! Week before opening day and there is 18 degrees, warm sunshine, frogs spawning all over the lakes and the first serious fly hatches whilst we stocked the lakes. Then on opening day winter returns with driving wind and rain almost all day. Nevertheless two of the rods braved the […]
Happy Christmas
The salmon have run, the season is done, the rods all put neatly away. Not much left to do, other than re-whip and glue, line loops and leaders all frayed. Then sit at my vice, trying to tie something so nice that it earns a place in my box but most lack the lustre to even begin to […]
