Springer on the Fly from the Catholes Stream.

Paul McTiernan hooks a fresh spring salmon fly fishing on the Catholes at Stanley, Perthshire, Scotland.

The fish is close to the net after a tremendous fight.

Finally the prize spring fish is landed. It was covered in sea lice and weighed 12 pounds.

Paul releases the spring salmon back to the river. Well done Paul.

Great blog. I've fished many times up at Stanley...often with a Ghillie called Bugsy...looking at your blogg brought it all back to me. I've fished many of the areas you mention...and the Isla Mouth.
The days I buy and sell woods and tend to fish for trout and Pike down in rainy England.
I'm very envious!

Thanks for your comments Tim
It's a pleasure. I'd even forgotten the name of the Tayside Hotel...I've stayed there a few times. Is Dougie Stewart still around (The ghillie AKA Bugsy)? We had some good fun with him...
