Salmon Fishing Scotland Spring Salmon Fly Fishing with Floating Lines in March 2012.

The lovely summer like weather continued today and believe it or not by 5 pm this afternoon the river temperature was 51F or 10.5C on the lower Tay just below Stanley, Perthshire, Scotland. This is extremely unusual for the end of March and maybe is some sort of record on the Tay. 48F is the normal temperature to signal floating lines. Last year on the same date the river temperature was a more typical 42F.

The warmer river temperature did not deter John Jennings as he hooked a lovely fresh spring salmon at the tail of the Long Shot on the Lower Tay Benchil beat below Stanley.

John was using a sink tip line with a small tube fly to successfully land this lovely fresh 8 pounds spring salmon. This was his first Tay spring salmon.
