River Tay Fishing

River Tay FishingWe have a full breakdown of fishing on local rivers and lochs, including detailed maps, where to obtain permits, local ghillies and tackle shops. You will find listings of accommodation specially tailored for anglers as well as information on local angling clubs, organisations and weather. You will also find a wealth of links for England, the rest of Scotland and internationally.

Atlantic Salmon

Atlantic Salmon The Tay is one of the premier salmon rivers of Europe. It boasts the UK record - a fish of 64lb caught by Miss Ballantyne in 1922. Today Salmon over 30lbs are caught on Scotland's Rivers each year, and we all live in the hope of taking that fish of a lifetime.

Brown Trout

Brown Trout FishingIn the spring and summer months brown trout offer some excellent sport. Most are wild fish in the pound range, but there are some monsters. The loch has produced brownies to 16lb last year and this 14lb sea trout kelt was returned this February.

Tuition

Plus if you are in need of some tuition why not contact one of our recommended fishing instructors, guides and ghillies. Tight Lines!

Tay Ghillies Association

Dedicated to improving salmon stocks and encouraging tourism in Perthshire. The ghillies are an increasingly active group. After all their jobs depend on it. The Association is leading the way with fund raising for hatchery work and the kelt reconditioning system.

Coarse angling

Coarse FishingIf you know where to go there is some great coarse fishing to be found on the system. Fly-fishing for Pike is increasingly popular on hill lochs and Boxing day would not be the same without casting for grayling.

TDSFB

The Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board is the organisation which manages fisheries for migratory fish on the Tay Catchment
