Salmon Fishing Scotland Late Autumn Salmon Fishing on Tay, Perthshire 2016.

It is now the last few days of the Tay, Perthshire 2016 salmon fishing season with changing weather and dropping temperatures making salmon far more aggressive.

There has not been an outstanding autumn run so far on any Scottish river however dropping river temperatures make the resident fish more likely to take.

This was an 18 pounds fish caught by Tim Greenfield on Benchil caught on the fly from the Long Shot.

Charles Savage with a reasonably fresh 16 pounds fish caught on the fly from the Long Shot on Benchil.

This week at Stanley we have been remembering the late Neill John Williams who sadly passed away from a long illness late last year. Neill fished on the Tay over several years.

There is now a commemorative bench on the Catholes in fond memory of Neill.

Cheers Neill, we all hope you are resting in peace and fishing a good river in heaven.
