The Cathedral steam on the Dunkeld House beat river Tay. A cracking bit of fly water from the boat to intercept some running salmon as the often stop here as the water warms up in the spring.

Brown Trout

This was a Brown trout just over 4lb that was caught a few years ago when we were out on the river fishing for salmon.  And as you can see the damage they do in the river is quite bad, when we opened it up there was five salmon parr inside it. How many salmon parr are eaten by these trout in a season on the river.
