Looking up stream from oak trees to the bridge, this area can produce a lot of fish boat or bank fly or spin the early springers seem to like this area .

Rams Horn

This is a bit of the rams horn pool opened up , this bit will fish any any height but in medium to high water it's at it's best as the fish move out the heavy flow to sit in the edge in the deep water.

Springer Time

This is what we all dream of catching early season. This one of 28lb taken on Dalmarnock bank pool in the late 80s. With the new season nearly here its what we all want to catch in the spring and the tay is the place to do it on. Dalmarnock has always been known as a big fish beat and with over 15 fish caught last year over 20 lb why not come and have a go.
Please contact me on 07840035982 to book rods or for more info on the beat.
Just like to wish you all a Happy New Year .....
