Salmon Fishing Scotland Catching Grilse on the Tay at Stanley Perthshire Scotland.
This was a Grilse I caught myself this afternoon fly fishing in the woodside pool of the Pitlochrie beat. It was very fresh as the sea lice indicate but it had a bleeding vent as do several others that are being caught. I am currently collecting data of these type of fish for our fishery board scientist to analyse.

The bleeding vent is not a new problem, I myself have caught hundreds of grilse on the lower and tidal reaches of the Tay and this problem has been apparent for over 30 years at least. I look forward to you keeping us updated as to the scientific results.

i have caught fish from as far north as wick, helmsdale and the tay that have had this, would these fish beable to survive too spawn
Is the problem only affecting Grilse? Are they Cock or Hen, or both, or has no one taken time to note this.

Thank you for your comments.
Both hen and cock fish are effected and larger salmon as well as grilse. I will come back to you with the results when i get them.
HIV has been around for the best part of 30 years; it remains incurable, though the cock does seem to be an initiating factor; whilst the host survives.
