Salmon Fishing in Scotland Logo
This was a shot of myself with a top UK surgeon who'd just taken up salmon fishing. This is the gravel riverbank at the neck of the Ash Tree Pool at Kinnaird near Dunkeld. Look at the amazing Perthshire hills in the back ground and the fast streamy River Tay salmon water behind us. This lovely shot was taken by top Scottish photographer Louise Bellin.
This fine fish was caught while commuting this River Tay guided salmon fishing guest downstream in the boat by flicking a spinning lure over the stern of the boat and letting it flutter in the stream. The lure was deployed slightly above where there was a sharp river bed drop off from 5ft of water down to 20ft at the Rock Pool on Upper Kinnaird. Overall lure troll time to cover this salmon lie is 45 seconds and this fine Tay salmon hit the lure after 15 seconds.

This guest caught this perfect River Tay salmon with his very first cast of the fishing day near Murthly. As you can see that a life jacket & eye protection are mandatory with all of our guided fishing guests in addition to salmon!
This angler's wife had purchased a gift voucher for his Christmas for a guided day on the River Tay in Perthshire. He ended up landing 3 perfect Autumn salmon by 5pm. This was number 3 from the 'Guay Pool' near Dunkeld.

A well thought on salmon fishing approach derived from decades of salmon river experience paired with astute tactical knowledge and teaching skill ability in addition to complete success based faith in the fly or lure selection is always going to supercede an inexperienced salmon fisher (with likely inappropriate kit) aquiring the fishing access permit to an unfamiliar salmon river venue on their own.
