Salmon Fishing Scotland First Springer landed on the fly on Stanley beats 2020. 

It was a memorable day on the Stanley beats of the Tay, Perthshire with our first springer landed on the Catholes and yes on the cast fly from an anchored boat. Salmon are not plentiful anymore but a pristine springer on the fly is certainly worth celebrating.

Peter Duncan playing the fish after taking the boat to the shore on a cold February day in the Back Dam of the Catholes.

Not far away now but nervous times as we knew it was the elusive springer by this time.

Peter with the prize in the net. A pristine beauty 17 pounds bar of silver. Well done Peter and on a fly I tied!!

 The fly!
Hopefully the first of many.
