Trusting that you are well and have come through the Covid ordeal without too much pain or sadness, I have just posted up the initial dates for my Trout & Salmon Courses in 2022. See dates and prices in my shop. There are not many places left on the salmon courses because most of my […]

Scottish 2021 spring Salmon & Spey Casting courses cancelled.
Dear All, Coronavirus Update – Spring Salmon Courses 2021 CANCELLED. I hope this finds you all well. I write following the latest “Roadmaps” put out by Boris Johnson and Nicola Sturgeon. As a qualified accredited teacher, running long established training courses and with all schools back in England by March 8th , I can reopen my […]
CV update 21st March: Royal Dunkeld Hotel is now closed.
Following the Government’s decision to close all pubs clubs restaurants and bars, The Royal have had no alternative but to close for a minimum of one month from today. The fishing remains open for our Murthly week and Donald is keen for us to go, but without accommodation and with the distinct possibility of a […]
Coronavirus update 20th March
With most of those who have booked dropping out of the Dalmarnock courses, I have spoken to Colin and we have taken the decision to try to postpone the first week, hopefully until later this summer or until next spring if necessary. The fishing remains available for anyone who wants to or can still go. […]
Season Opens and Corvid 19
Firstly, I hope you are all safe and well in these difficult times. Well at least we managed to get the trout season underway here at the farm, with the first fish of the season to John P. Mild conditions and astonishingly clear water, given all the rain recently and a good hatch of midge, […]
Coronavirus update 16th March
By Michael Evans on March 16, 2020 in Facebook, International Rivers, Latest News, Little Saxbys Farm, River Tay
Although I am following the national news on a daily basis, as no doubt are you, I am still intending to run my courses at the farm, my Scottish courses and fishing and international trips as scheduled. I think we are all a lot safer out fishing than just about anywhere else!
Murthly 13th April 2019
Water steady at 1ft and just perfect. Weather overcast but a bitter strong east wind which did make fishing conditions unpleasant and difficult. But with a good team of rods we most certainly covered the water. I saw one small fish jump in the Ministers but otherwise I don’t think a single fish was seen […]
Murthly 12th April 2019
Top Beat: Water 1ft 2ins, overcast and mild with a light breeze. It just doesn’t get any better. I had a couple of angry tugs fishing my big prawn very deep in the Tronach – fish already caught and released I suspect. Cecil D saw a couple of fish coming through the fast water at […]
Murthly 11th April 2019
And the sun shone down from a cloudless sky yet again on 1ft 2ins of “perfect” water height. Simon M managed our only connection of the day, a fish “in the teens” on for 15 or so minutes from the bargee side of the boat pool before a long range release. One other fish was […]
Murthly 10th April 2019
Water 1ft 3ins after a bitterly cold night. That was then followed by blazing sun all day. Good for the tan but hopeless for the fishing. We never saw a single fish all day, I guess they’ve all got their heads down in the shade like me!
