Salmon Fishing Scotland Spring Salmon Fly Fishing on Catholes, Tay, Stanley, Perthshire 2020. 

It was a spring day to remember for myself on the Catholes today with a couple of lovely fresh salmon landed fly fishing from the anchored boat.

This was the first one estimated at 16 pounds caught in the Back Dam pool. A big thank you to Davie Seaton coming from Benchil to help me land this lovely fish as it gave an incredible fight.

The salmon being safely released back to the river. 

The Back Dam today, an ideal high water pool on the Catholes for fly fishing.

The set up today, 15' Loomis NRX, Rio Gamechanger float, intermediate, hover, sink 3 and a 20' sink tip 3 to 5 inches a second plus a tungsten turbo tube tied by myself!

The second springer caught in the Woodside at the top of the Catholes probably about 15 pounds.

What a day and the ultimate experience for any salmon fisherman. Hopefully this is the start of a good run over the next few weeks.
