Salmon Fishing Scotland Catching Salmon fly fishing on the Lower Tay, Perthshire, Scotland August 2011.

Salmon Fishing Scotland Catching Salmon fly fishing on the Lower Tay, Perthshire, Scotland August 2011.

I had a superb day at Benchil today on the lower Tay below Stanley, Perthshire, Scotland. I landed 6 salmon weighing 12, 17, 12, 12, 14 and 12 pounds on the fly from the long shot pool on a Carron Shrimp fly on a sink tip fly line. Not a bad day by anyone's standards.
This was the 17 pounds salmon. A sea liced typical autumn salmon from the Tay.

Into another on the fly. The salmon are playing very hard this year for some reason and you are tested to the limit to land them.

This was the 14 pounds salmon and again sea liced from the tail of the pool.

All the salmon were carefully released back to the river.

You are now reaping the benefits of C & R . . . the 12 pounder was caught four times in the one day!

Good catch, keep up the good work.
