Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats, Tay, Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 2nd August 2021.
It has been a slow summer period until the last week or so with very low water and high temperatures however some welcome rain put some fresh water in the river and encouraged a summer run to start.
This was a delighted Rachael Russel with her first ever salmon, a Grilse caught on the Pitlochrie beat on her last cast of 2 days fishing.
Last week I had Geoff Robinsons Party fishing for the week. It was a slow start but after some rain the action started!
Geoff playing a good fish on the fly from the boat in the Long Shot at Benchil.
A superb 17 pounds fish on one of my soft hackle plastic tubes.
It wasn't long after the the same fly had hooked another fish for Terry Speake.
This one weighed 15 pounds.
Paul Jones had a week to remember catching 4 fish with a superb 18 pounds fish on the fly from Kirkie on Saturday being the best after it ran 100 yards downstream before being landed. Paul is new to fly fishing so was super pleased and excited!
This was John Layborne from earlier in July with a 13 pounds fish on Benchil.
The fresher water last week has disappeared back to 3" but the water has cooled by 5F encouraging fish to run the river. There are Grilse and summer salmon running now and more rain in the forecast which should see sport maintained over the next few weeks.
