Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats, Tay, Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 7th September 2020.
We have had some great memories over the last couple of weeks with a good number of salmon landed from the Stanley beats on the Tay.
The Robinson party had a good week in late August with Sam and Geoff both catching 3 salmon throughout the week mostly on fly.
Sam landed a superb 17 pounds fish after an epic 40 battle hooking in Lundie and finally in the net at the top of the Craigs on Upper Redgorton.
In the same week Jim Ferrie, Allan Ferrie and John Chilman all caught after a rise in the river with fish up to 12 pounds.
In the same week Jonny Muir caught a cracking fish from Luncarty on the fly weighing 18 pounds. Other fish were also caught in Luncarty off the bank on the fly.
Last week was a bit quieter with river levels dropping away however John Laybourne caught fish on both Pitlochrie and Benchil on the fly.
Further fish were caught on Benchil by Yuri Jannsen, Anne Emsens and Gordon Hyslop.
The prospects are good for all the beats with a good head of resident fish however a bit more water and cooler temperatures would certainly help. There looks like some rain in the forecast this week which just may kick things off again. It could be a great last month of the season.
