Dunkeld House Fishings



Fly fishing the Ivy tree pool in this height of water is very easy, with a short line as the fish are tight into the left bank.  The second picture is the boat out for a harl in the Ivy Tree, with this height of water this is one of my favourite pools on the beat..

7lb Salmon


Here is George Nixon with a 7lber today taken at the top of the Ivy Tree pool. Well Done !!

Harling On The River Tay



The Dunkeld house fishing boat out in action harling down through the Grotto. Harling might not be for every one, but it gives you maximum water coverage when the river is high, and with 4 baits swimming it increases your chances !!
