It is our most local river that’s part of Scotland’s “big four” salmon fishing rivers and we would argue it offers\u00a0the best value Salmon fishing in Scotland<\/a>.\u00a0The River Tay is Scotland’s largest river, flowing an impressive 117 miles\u00a0from source to sea.<\/p>\n

Stunning Autumnal light when Salmon fishing on the River Tay!<\/p><\/div>\n

The River Tay is\u00a0steeped in tradition and Salmon fishing history. In-fact the biggest ever Salmon caught in the UK was caught on this very river back in 1922 by Miss\u00a0Georgina Ballantine. It is still the British record rod caught Salmon to this day and unlikely to ever be beaten!<\/p>\n

The River Tay\u00a0has a great spring, summer and back end run which makes the river very unique and consistent throughout the season.<\/p>\n

The tributaries of the river Tay have some of\u00a0Scotland’s most prolific spring salmon catches. If you time it right, \u00a0they can\u00a0offer you one of the best chances of landing a spring Salmon in Scotland!<\/p>\n

Salmon Fishing on the River Tay<\/h2>\n

The Tay is one of the few Scottish rivers that will fish in mega low summer levels right up to 12ft above summer levels which was conditions we faced on the last week of the season in 2014 and still caught fish!<\/p>\n

Up until the end of the 2014 season the Tay ran a trial extension period for four years with the season running\u00a0to the end of October. This was a great idea in our eyes but following a vote in December 2014, land\u00a0owners on the river have opted\u00a0against this being applied for on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0is a shame, as on the second last day of the season in 2014 we were still catching bright bars of silver like the one below.<\/p>\n
