The Lady Pool


The Lady pool at Dunkeld, this pool is right in front of the hut. In low water this pool is really nice to fish the fly through it, no need to wade deep mid thigh at the very most. There is a blue pipe that comes in at the wall when your in that area with your fly swing round that is the place you really wait for that take. Then down towards the wires is another good place to take a salmon on the fly.

River Tay Fishing Huts


Most of the tay beats have really good huts on them, But ours at Dunkeld just feel like a wee home. Having a nice warm hut early spring time is a must. The days can be short and  cold at times so you need that wee retreat to warm up at lunch time.

Salmon Fishing River Tay


The Mouse trap on the Dunkeld House Beat river Tay . With depths of 28 ft this pool offers safety and shade in lower water. Spinning with a salmo in here can offer the best chance of a fish if you are willing to explore the depths in here.

Dunkeld House Beat


The Girnal on the bottom half of the beat, this area is well worth some attention with the spinner. In big water they can be just at your feet, in lower water you often see some big fish mid stream. But make sure you cover the far bank right in at the tree line.

With the deep slow water it is a perfect place to look for a spring salmon . If your looking for an early springer this is the place to look...

Spring Salmon Flies



Some salmon flies for spring salmon fishing. Having just a few tried and tested flies is all you need in the spring tied on different tubes or doubles to suit the water height.
