Tay catch news for 2010.
The Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board have now received returns from the great majority of beats for the 2010 season. As of 16 February the total number of salmon and grilse declared by rod & line is 11,373, of which 70.7% were released alive.

With a number of fisheries still to provide a return it is likely the final declared catch should exceed 11,500.

This represents the best overall catch since 2006, but the best autumn catch since 1996.

A breakdown of the catch in terms of areas is provided below.

The following is a graph of the monthly rod catch in 2010 broken down by released and retained fish. The spring was relatively poor, but with a very high rate of catch and release. The autumn fishing was very good, however, on some lower Tay beats in particular.
