Spinning Tackle For The River Tay

 

Early season spinning tackle for the Dunkeld House Beat . Spinning lures can't be much simpler than some Toby Salmo's and some Vision 110 s. If you have these in your box your definitely of to a good start to covering the beat. Matched up with 10/11 ft spinning rod. A good spinning real loaded with 20 lb mono or 30 lb braid . Its also a good idea to always carry a landing net so you can keep the fish in the water to unhook it.

The early part of the season on the Tay is very different from the warmer water off April on wards. This time of year to put your chances more in your favour with the right selection of tackle. You don't need to carry loads of flys just a few good patterns tied in different sizes and weights . The key is to fish your fly deep and slow. So make sure you carry a good selection of lines and good sink tips to get your fly down to the fish .

Good water coverage in the spring is key to finding a spring salmon. Harling in the right conditions will increase your chances. When your on the bank fishing it pays to really cover a pool properly to increase your chances . #dunkeldhousesalmonfishing #salmonfishingrivertay #gordonpollocksalmonfishing #dunkeldhousebeat
