The weather has played a large part in determining the catches. Initially in September we were praying for water and a drop in temperatures. We witnessed a spate mid September but that did not really trigger off great sport but by the end of the month the river temperature dropped substantially after a couple of early frosts and although the water level dropped the older fish became more aggressive and catches improved dramatically. In the last week 15 fish were caught on very small flies on our 3 main beats of Benchil, Pitlochrie and Luncarty. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/M6TKN_FN6B8" width="320" youtube-src-id="M6TKN_FN6B8"></iframe></div>Some video and still clips from the last month on our beats. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSS4GLYWDpKUrXD8DN7b6mfw-X1e-SR6HrAC0tVziArQtRQbnxIHY8dc38IQvzwQIibZPCxPP895tS5OlWvwTiYKGW3kqMf7L933xolNZ-L5qBTk3jwUiHyLZd_YJEv8RyFQinEPH2DKy/s2048/IMG_3656.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSS4GLYWDpKUrXD8DN7b6mfw-X1e-SR6HrAC0tVziArQtRQbnxIHY8dc38IQvzwQIibZPCxPP895tS5OlWvwTiYKGW3kqMf7L933xolNZ-L5qBTk3jwUiHyLZd_YJEv8RyFQinEPH2DKy/s320/IMG_3656.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>This weekend has seen very heavy rain causing a massive spate which may just bring in some more fresh fish which have been sadly lacking over the autumn period so far.

We have had some great memories over the last couple of weeks with a good number of salmon landed from the Stanley beats on the Tay. </div>

The Robinson party had a good week in late August with Sam and Geoff both catching 3 salmon throughout the week mostly on fly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sam landed a superb 17 pounds fish after an epic 40 battle hooking in Lundie and finally in the net at the top of the Craigs on Upper Redgorton. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div>
In the same week Jim Ferrie, Allan Ferrie and John Chilman all caught after a rise in the river with fish up to 12 pounds.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
In the same week Jonny Muir caught a cracking fish from Luncarty on the fly weighing 18 pounds. Other fish were also caught in Luncarty off the bank on the fly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Last week was a bit quieter with river levels dropping away however John Laybourne caught fish on both Pitlochrie and Benchil on the fly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div>
Further fish were caught on Benchil by Yuri Jannsen, Anne Emsens and Gordon Hyslop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTyvA5A0IxwBnP2AV13GQm5Q8RvgC3ncBKTIAQFmWQSVTQhrJ-Ed7o-eh2kWUMa2FgdTBPCnk93WaZZa53Gx4HsdRwAo0pOwnzYnqWyzYFTU_wR_o35btynRcfoTULE9fM-5UYEBlk1-m/s2048/IMG_3533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSTyvA5A0IxwBnP2AV13GQm5Q8RvgC3ncBKTIAQFmWQSVTQhrJ-Ed7o-eh2kWUMa2FgdTBPCnk93WaZZa53Gx4HsdRwAo0pOwnzYnqWyzYFTU_wR_o35btynRcfoTULE9fM-5UYEBlk1-m/s320/IMG_3533.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
The prospects are good for all the beats with a good head of resident fish however a bit more water and cooler temperatures would certainly help. There looks like some rain in the forecast this week which just may kick things off again. It could be a great last month of the season.<br />

<div>
The salmon fishing on the Tay, Perthshire has been far more productive over the summer period with a greater expectation and that has certainly the case at Stanley on the lower river. </div>

Some video clips and stills over the last week or so.<br />
<br />
Over the last week there have been some more memorable stories to tell with fish from Pitlochrie, Benchil and Luncarty and fish lost on Catholes. </div>

Last Tuesday was a frustrating day on Benchil with only one fish landed on Benchil by Anne Emsens but several others were lost or pulled on fly. </div>

Dr Michael Bowes caught his first ever salmon on Wednesday with a day he will not forget in a hurry. He landed a small salmon on the fly then hooked himself in the afternoon! Gerry Rattrey caught a 15 pounder on the fly in the Woodside and Matthew Sheldon caught a grilse on the Dyke. </div>

<div>
More water arrived from heavy rain upsetting the river with a heavy peaty stain at the end of the week however on Saturday James Holder caught a grilse at Aitken Head on the fly and at the last gasp in the afternoon Jack Tong landed a 21 pounder in the Long Shot on a rapala. </div>

Jonny Muir had a good couple of mornings at Luncarty catching 4 salmon up to 9 pounds on the fly from the bank. One of our Gleneagles guests lost a good fish up on the Catholes.</div>

The prospects are looking good with a fair head of fish in the beats and the prospect of cooler water to make the fish more aggressive. We are busy on Pitlochrie/Benchil this week but there is still good availability in September. Luncarty and Catholes are well worth a go from the bank at reasonable priced tickets. currently the water has dropped back again to a summer height. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">As to methods, in settled conditions fishing by any method the elusive Tay Salmon.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0cm;">
<b><span style="background-color: white;">Fly Rods.</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">The Tay is a large river especially when running at a normal level and even in lower levels you are fishing another river within the mighty one so therefore a 15 foot fly rod for a 10 weight line is certainly minimum requirement for much of the season. Do not come under gunned. In some parts of the river where it is especially wide even longer rods are used. It should be noted however that it is better to cast a shorter controlled line than try to cast out with your capabilities and have the lines end up in a mess and decrease your chances. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; margin: 0cm;">
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">Fly Lines.</span></b><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">In summer when the water is warmer you will be using smaller flies and conventional floating lines with tips to give you the best possible chance. There is a tremendous choice on the market nowadays which can be quite confusing to many anglers. Rio Game Changers or Scandi lines plus a tip of choice attached are currently a great bet as these lines enable you to cast a longer line than normal with ease. For more experienced anglers, there are a vast array of shooting heads of different sinking abilities available as well. I use a Rio long Spey at this time of year plus a tip as I hate pulling all that shooting line back in each cast. A Mid Spey may be an option as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">A main line of 20 pounds in nylon or 30 pounds in braid. You should use a lesser poundage far a cast such as 15 pounds so if you get caught up on the bottom you do not lose a large part of your main line. </span><span style="color: #0e1d4f;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Stanley beats are steeped in history and this year we have reduced the available rods to 4 giving you far more opportunity and value for money. We are fly fishing friendly as well. Look forward to seeing you on the beats. Feel free to contact us direct on robert.salmonfishing@googlemail.com or 07979528134/01738827416. <o:p></o:p></div>

It was a much better salmon fishing week at Stanley especially on the Pitlochrie and Benchil beats with several salmon caught. Fish were caught off both beats and there was a good fish landed on the fly from the Catholes as well.<br />

The week started off brilliantly with two Gleneagles clients landing their first ever salmon on the Pitlochrie beat. Michael and Olena Lukyanova from the Ukraine caught a 5 pounds and 11 pounds fish on toby having lost a few prior to the captures. I don't think they quite understood what they had achieved but very happy faces.<br />

Saturday belonged to Belgium Anne Emsens with 2 superb fish from the Long Shot at Benchil late in the day at around 12 pounds. It was a great end to the week<br />

Conditions are superb for our beats at the moment and there is a good run of summer salmon and grilse in progress. There will be some great opportunities over the weeks to follow.<br />

<b><span style="background-color: white;">Fly Rods.</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">The Tay is a large river especially when running at a normal level and even in lower levels you are fishing another river within the mighty one so therefore a 15 foot fly rod for a 10 weight line is certainly minimum requirement for much of the season. Do not come under gunned. In some parts of the river where it is especially wide even longer rods are used. It should be noted however that it is better to cast a shorter controlled line than try to cast out with your capabilities and have the lines end up in a mess and decrease your chances. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

There is a tremendous choice on the market nowadays which can be quite confusing to many anglers. Rio Game Changers or Scandi lines plus a tip of choice attached are currently a great bet as these lines enable you to cast a longer line than normal with ease. For more experienced anglers, there are a vast array of shooting heads of different sinking abilities available as well. I use a Rio long Spey at this time of year plus a tip as I hate pulling all that shooting line back in each cast. A Mid Spey may be an option as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats, Tay, Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 20th July 2020. </h3>
Last week was a difficult period with little success due to a largely unsettled river conditions due to daily Hydro rises. The run seemed to be on hold but a good few fish were pulling the fly but not hanging on. Was this the quiet before the storm! It was certainly frustrating with only a fish caught on Luncarty and a grilse falling on Benchil on Saturday to James MacKay on Saturday. There was also a single fish recorded on Benchil on Friday for Upper Scone.<br />

Monday in the current week has seen a big change with more fish running and a settled river at last. We had our first Gleneagles Clients at last. They had travelled from Ukraine and after a frustrating morning loosing a couple Michael Lukyanova landed his first salmon on a Toby salmo in Horsey.<br />

Not long after Michael's success his mother Olena caught a superb 11 pounds summer salmon casting from the boat on the same lure. It was certainly a memorable day for them both.<br />

It looks like there is an improvement in the run as the Upper Scone rods had a great day with 5 fish up to 14 pounds from Benchil.<br />
Conditions are great for the beats with the water levels now well under 2 feet and hopefully a good run in progress.<br />

Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats, Tay, Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 13th July 2020. </h3>
It has been a better week on the Stanley beats with double the catch from the previous week all be it only 6 fish however it could have been a few more with a some lost. It was a frustrating week with fluctuating river levels due to rain and hydro impromptu releases unsettling the river making fishing much more difficult.<br />
The beats got off to a good start on Monday with Gleneagles ghillie Gerry Rattray catching a lovely fish and loosing another in the day. Later in the week he had a go on the Catholes and lost a good fish after playing it for over 5 minutes.<br />

On Tuesday with no one on the beats I caught a couple on the fly from the long Shot on Benchil up to 10 pounds. I also had a fish on Wednesday from Horsey fly fishing.<br />

<br />
Thursday was the only blank in the week but there were 2 lost including a breakage on the fly which was extremely frustrating and unlucky for the rod.<br />
On Friday in an unsettled river Jim Ferrie caught a grilse and lost another similar fish in Horsey on the Pitlochrie beat.<br />

<br />
A further grilse was landed on Benchil on Saturday.<br />
It was a good week but with more settled weather in the coming week we should so an improvement in sport over the next few days. Water levels have dropped back to just over 2 feet so should benefit Benchil more in the coming week.<br />

<b><span style="background-color: white;">Fly Rods.</span></b><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0e1d4f;">The Tay is a large river especially when running at a normal level and even in lower levels you are fishing another river within the mighty one so therefore a 15 foot fly rod for a 10 weight line is certainly minimum requirement for much of the season. Do not come under gunned. In some parts of the river where it is especially wide even longer rods are used. It should be noted however that it is better to cast a shorter controlled line than try to cast out with your capabilities and have the lines end up in a mess and decrease your chances. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0e1d4f; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">In summer when the water is warmer you will be using smaller flies and conventional floating lines with tips to give you the best possible chance. There is a tremendous choice on the market nowadays which can be quite confusing to many anglers. Rio Game Changers or Scandi lines plus a tip of choice attached are currently a great bet as these lines enable you to cast a longer line than normal with ease. For more experienced anglers, there are a vast array of shooting heads of different sinking abilities available as well. I use a Rio long Spey at this time of year plus a tip as I hate pulling all that shooting line back in each cast. A Mid Spey may be an option as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats, Tay, Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 6th July 2020. </h3>
The weather in the last week has made fishing difficult with daily fluctuations in river heights however we had 3 lovely summer salmon from the Horsey Pool on the Pitlochrie beat at Stanley and there was certainly evidence of salmon running. Hopefully the weather will settle down in the coming week and enable some better sport.<br />
This video is a compilation of the catches.<br />

There was a little window on Wednesday between river rises enabling me to land a 14 pounds fish at the tail of Horsey having had 3 other offers as well on the fly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Friday saw much better conditions with Alistair Sheach landing a cracking 12 pounds fish again from the tail of Horsey. I also had an older fish at about 10 pounds on the fly.<br />

I have since learned of 2 fish up to 15 pounds landed on Benchil caught by a Perth and District Angler member on a flying C. A Sea Trout came off Luncarty earlier in the week for Ed Slaven.<br />

Hopefully the weather will ease up this week to give better opportunities. There has been more water on Sunday to hopefully drop and settle for Monday. The river is running at around 4' with water temperatures at 60F/15C and salmon are running. Sport could be terrific over the coming weeks.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0e1d4f; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">In summer when the water is warmer you will be using smaller flies and conventional floating lines with tips to give you the best possible chance. There is a tremendous choice on the market nowadays which can be quite confusing to many anglers. Rio Game Changers or Scandi lines plus a tip of choice attached are currently a great bet as these lines enable you to cast a longer line than normal with ease. For more experienced anglers, there are a vast array of shooting heads of different sinking abilities available as well. I use a Rio long Spey at this time of year plus a tip as I hate pulling all that shooting line back in each cast. A Mid Spey may be an option as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

When the river is up around 4' on the lower Tay the Horsey pool on the Pitlochrie beat is absolutely perfect for fly fishing and it is a dream pool full of expectation. The river this week has been very unsettled and today was no exception after yet more rain early this morning. I decided to take a gamble in the early afternoon for a cast thinking it would settle for a couple of hours. I had a frustrating time pulling 3 fish including a grilse taking line for 20 seconds then coming to the top and off! It wasn't going to happen then after another half a dozen casts or so the line tightened again.<br />

This was the result! An absolute summer beauty around 14 pounds. It fought very hard but thankfully i managed to land it to get the picture. If we can just get some settled conditions the sport could be amazing. There seems to be more fish about this year so let us hope it improves and produces some great memories.<br />

There were no salmon caught last week on the beats. Unfortunately there were 3 salmon lost on the fly on Tuesday and there after the river was not settled due to rain and daily hydro rises. The weekend saw heavy rain on Saturday and the river has now risen to around 4 feet which may just kick start the summer salmon run in the river.<br />

The boats are now back on the river and with the lockdown easing we are certainly open for business. July is normally a good month on the lower river and there is certainly an air of optimism for the coming weeks. We now have a lower price bank rod only on our Pitlochrie and Benchil beats for July at £75 plus VAT with a higher price of £125 plus VAT for the use of the boat as well.<br />

<b><span style="background-color: white;">Fly Rods.</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">The Tay is a large river especially when running at a normal level and even in lower levels you are fishing another river within the mighty one so therefore a 15 foot fly rod for a 10 weight line is certainly minimum requirement for much of the season. Do not come under gunned. In some parts of the river where it is especially wide even longer rods are used. It should be noted however that it is better to cast a shorter controlled line than try to cast out with your capabilities and have the lines end up in a mess and decrease your chances. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

It has been a quiet week at Stanley with only one salmon landed on Tuesday night by James McKay from the Skellies. There was a little fresh water on Thursday from a heavy thunder shower up country turning the river dirty for a couple of days. It was fine by Saturday plus the water had dropped back to 7 inches but despite some good effort there was nothing reported. This recent period may have signalled the end of the spring run and we await with anticipation of a good summer run in the next few weeks. In the last few years this has been the most productive time certainly on the lower river, so let us hope it lives up to expectation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Conditions remain good with water levels around 1 foot but there is a bit of rain in the forecast so it may fluctuate during the week. This is the last week of Stanley bank only reverting back to both banks and alternate days between Pitlochrie and Benchil. The boats will be going back onto the beats this week and hopefully the lockdown rules will lift further to enable us to get back to normal if that is possible.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">The Tay is a large river especially when running at a normal level and even in lower levels you are fishing another river within the mighty one so therefore a 15 foot fly rod for a 10 weight line is certainly minimum requirement for much of the season. Do not come under gunned. In some parts of the river where it is especially wide even longer rods are used. It should be noted however that it is better to cast a shorter controlled line than try to cast out with your capabilities and have the lines end up in a mess and decrease your chances. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats, Tay, Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 15th June 2020. </h3>
It has been another good week for the Stanley beats with an improvement in catches for June. We do not normally catch that many for this time of year but now 5 in a couple of weeks is encouraging for Benchil in particular with only a few people fishing. Our 5 year average is 2 for the beat and our total so far beats any catch in the last 5 years! Hopefully more to be added in the next couple of weeks and with more relaxation of lockdown should see a bit more effort. The catches tend to favour the middle and upper river currently but give it another couple of weeks their season slows and emphases turns to the lower river. July and August should be good with us and i am really optimistic we will do well this year.<br />
Back to this week, I caught a lovely 10 pounds fish on Monday night at the very tail of the Little Shot on the fly and lost another one at the head of the Long Shot.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgIuLDOfdoM_Yf0kNdz4hhHjkD7N-zgImf4Mvyt8AbcfTfeMft84T15nBXvyAAkvW3zBZaAaTOOwlJXfuTofLXbaEOANLGa3aQfmqpQbJzqfbxyWRveSJJXpxcC1AGZESocE9MTpJzaeLd/s4032/IMG_3264.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgIuLDOfdoM_Yf0kNdz4hhHjkD7N-zgImf4Mvyt8AbcfTfeMft84T15nBXvyAAkvW3zBZaAaTOOwlJXfuTofLXbaEOANLGa3aQfmqpQbJzqfbxyWRveSJJXpxcC1AGZESocE9MTpJzaeLd/s320/IMG_3264.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div>Then 2 nights later I landed another one of about 8 pounds from the tail of the Long Shot eventually landing it in the Little Shot after a titanic battle. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjRpg5gDPf39_Tog4Bx3y9YmeU_aw5ksrYMhjFcmTT0uM2nMjtZ2vtcjWipUIpJWITA5OMbG1dZGIjPzMyfPPTiB5uYHB_eICvvJD1me9z-6bMclR5w2bYpuOkcbXT-o6SlpXeRCr5_XzX/s1600/IMG_3280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjRpg5gDPf39_Tog4Bx3y9YmeU_aw5ksrYMhjFcmTT0uM2nMjtZ2vtcjWipUIpJWITA5OMbG1dZGIjPzMyfPPTiB5uYHB_eICvvJD1me9z-6bMclR5w2bYpuOkcbXT-o6SlpXeRCr5_XzX/s320/IMG_3280.jpg" /></a></div><div>On Friday evening Jonny Muir caught a lovely Sea Trout and on Saturday James McKay caught a fish of about 10 pounds in the Skellies on a Flying C to complete the week. </div><div>Conditions could not be better with low water below 1' and salmon travelling through the beats every day, I am sure catches will only improve as we get nearer July. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font color="#d52c1f"><span style="text-align: left;">Please note we are observing the distance ruling and it will only be available for local people to the area.

Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats, Tay, Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 8th June 2020. </h3>
It has a reasonable week on the river at Stanley primarily down at Benchil. Water levels are perfect for the beat and for fly fishing. There have not been many rods out due to the regulations limit on distance people can travel however a few local rods did have a go and there were fish caught. We recorded 2 cracking summer salmon and a couple of Sea Trout. There have not been many showing but fish are obviously travelling through the lower beats which is encouraging.<br />
<br />
The salmon action came on Saturday with myself having a cast in the morning for a couple of hours! I landed a Sea Trout in the Little Shot fly fishing then went back in to hook and land a lovely fresh salmon of about 12 pounds on the next cast! I called it quits after that!<br />

<b><span style="background-color: white;">Fly Rods.</span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0e1d4f;">The Tay is a large river especially when running at a normal level and even in lower levels you are fishing another river within the mighty one so therefore a 15 foot fly rod for a 10 weight line is certainly minimum requirement for much of the season. Do not come under gunned. In some parts of the river where it is especially wide even longer rods are used. It should be noted however that it is better to cast a shorter controlled line than try to cast out with your capabilities and have the lines end up in a mess and decrease your chances. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Salmon Fishing Scotland Salmon Fishing resumes at Stanley on the Tay, Perthshire cautiously. </h3>
Salmon fishing has started again since Friday and we welcome this but under limited circumstances and cautiously for phase 1 on the ease of the lockdown from the Coronavirus.<br />
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">

Commenting on the announcement that local area fishing can take place in Scotland as of Friday (29th May), Charlie Whelan, ambassador for The SGA Fishing Group, said: </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;">
"<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">We look forward to seeing a few more local people back out enjoying the wonderful rivers and fisheries in their communities and the high quality angling experiences on offer in Scotland.</span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
“This move will benefit people’s mental and physical wellbeing and it will also be great to see kids back out fishing within their family groups.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
“We reiterate the First Minister’s view. Anglers and those providing angling need to be respectful of the national progress made in keeping the virus in check. They need to make responsible judgements.</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
“That way, the angling community will be playing an important part in potentially getting more things opened up in future. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
“We have fielded questions regarding how far people can travel and what they can and can’t do, and circumstances can be different. Everyone angling and providing angling must ensure that travelling remains within the local area and that all other measures such as social distancing and minimising the risk of transmission of Covid 19 can be achieved.”</div>

The SGA Fishing Group made its case to Scottish Ministers that local area angling could meet Government's safety threshold as it considered lockdown easing measures.</div>
<br />
A limited amount of fishing has taken place at Stanley by people who are local and not had to drive a great distance to the beats. On Friday Gerry Rattrey caught a lovely fresh sea trout around 3 pounds on a Sunray then Jonny Muir caught a superb sea liced 12 pounds salmon from the Long Shot at Benchil on Saturday evening, again on fly. Not a bad start in this bright weather.<br />

<br />
<br />
The prospects for the coming week look good for the beats, especially Benchil that suits low water. There are certainly fish running in the river and we are coming into a good period for summer salmon fishing. Currently the river is running just over 1 foot at Ballathie and just about 60F/15.5C.<br />
Fishing is bank only from the Stanley bank until July.<br />
