For all the anglers who are thinking of booking a days salmon fishing on the Tay there are some must have bits of tackle that you need  to bring to give yourself the best chance of catching  fish, Fishpal do not make this clear . You must bring your own spinning rod or double handed fly rod. For Spinning you need a 10/11 ft spinning rod 15/20lb line or braid good selection of spinners Toby Salmos are a must flying c. Vision 110 are worth having too .
Fly fishing Chest waders . 14/16ft fly rod Floating line with a good range of sink tips 10ft fast to extra fast. 15/20lb leader .  and a good selection of flys from size 11s right up to some tubes  1inch for bigger water. Flys Cascade, allys shrimp, stoats tail, francis, park shrimps. Flame throwers red, orange . and a good landing net for the safe handling of the fish !!. And because we sell both bank and boat permit, Bank rods should be at the hut for 8.30. As the boats go out at 9. Just so you can be showed your pools for the morning and how best to fish them !!
