Salmon Fishing Scotland River Tay at Stanley, Perthshire, Scotland Winter 2010.

These were the scenes on the river Tay at Stanley, Perthshire, Scotland at sunset on an extremely cold winters day in January 2010. The temperatures were down below -10 Celsius and dropping further. It is so cold now that ice flows are now starting to go down the river. A lot of the smaller rivers in the area are already frozen over. These include the Almond and Isla. The Tay in parts is starting to freeze over as well as you can see from some of these pictures below.
The opening of the river Tay is now only a week away with the Tay Board Opening ceremony being held at Dunkeld in the middle area of the river. The excitement is building for many. This cold weather will benefit the lower river assuming a few spring salmon are entering the river.
