Salmon Fishing Scotland Tay Opening Day at Stanley, Perthshire 2020.

Salmon Fishing Scotland Tay Opening Day at Stanley, Perthshire 2020. 

These are some pictures from our Opening day at Stanley, Perthshire with some friends and Gleneagles Hotel. The photos were taken by Yuri Janssen.

The Gleneagles team leave the iconic hotel for destination Catholes and Pitlochrie beats at Stanley. 
A young piper from Strathallan School plays a tune with the mighty Tay as a back drop. 
The march behind the piper to the river for that first cast. 
It is my turn to toast the guests and new season with the customary whiskey. 
Taking a couple of Guests in the boat to the famous Pitlochrie Pool. 
A nice spey cast with Gerry Rattray's, head ghillie at Gleneagles, approval!

A superb lunch to celebrate the day and relax after all the excitement. 
A few Kelts (spawned salmon) and several young sea trout were caught during the day but unfortunately no springers. Hopefully in the days to come that will be remedied. 
All in all it was a superb day enjoyed by all. Thank you Gleneagles.
