Salmon Fishing Scotland Autumn Salmon Fishing.
These are two typical Autumn salmon from the Tay caught on the Benchil beat of the lower river. The smaller fish is very fresh and is a Grilse of about six pounds. As the season goes on the Grilse tend to get larger because they have spent more time feeding in the sea. It has been known for Grilse to weigh up to fifteen pounds by the end of the Tay season in mid october as they are later in arriving in the river. The Larger cock salmon with the Autumn characteristics is a two sea winter fish weighing sixteen pounds and has been in the river for a week or so.

would the large coloured fish not be better back in the river?
This fish would have been returned but unfortunately it was badly hooked and had to be killed.
