Spring Salmon Fishing Report for week ending 29th January 2011.
The second week of the Tay season was very similar to the corresponding week last year with 27 spring salmon caught as opposed to 28 last year. A few others were caught but not recorded. It has been a slow start but certainly a positive one.
The river was settled and dropping all week, which resulted in success for some of the lower beats as well as some higher beats. Very cold water meant ideal conditions for the lower river. The river temperature was 36 degrees Fahrenheit or 2 degrees Celsius which meant fishing methods of spinning and fly fishing were slow and deep.
27 spring salmon were reported last week with the best salmon of 20 pounds being landed at Taymount and two 18 pounds salmon landed at Dunkeld House and Coupar Grange respectively. There are still a number of other salmon in the river from a late run at the end of the year, which makes identification difficult at times. These salmon should be handled extremely carefully as with springers to ensure their survival and hopefully enabling them to spawn.
On the lower river 14 fresh spring salmon were caught and most beats contributed.
The middle river reported 11 spring salmon which also included 3 salmon from the Isla at Coupar Grange.
On the upper river 2 springers were reported and both were caught at Dalguise.
Many thanks to all who have sent me their individual fishing experiences over the last season on the river. I would be most grateful if you to do the same this season by emailing me at
