About Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats Tay Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 27th January 2020.

Salmon Fishing Scotland Stanley beats, Tay, Perthshire Report and Prospects for W/C 27th January 2020. 

Last week saw 8 Kelts and a couple of young Sea Trout landed with limited fishing effort. The water height dropped over 1 foot during the week opening up the pools on the beats to much better fishing conditions and opportunities. Ladies did well with Belgian, Anne Emsens landing 2 kelts on the Catholes, then beginner Debbie Anderson landing her first salmon fly fishing on the same beat, all be it a kelt but onwards and upwards, I am sure a spring salmon will come soon.

The prospects for the coming week are looking much better with the river height down to 4' and probably will drop further giving even more pool opportunities. The weather is also looking better for the beats with a much colder forecast. At the end of last week the water temperature had soared to 42.5F/6C which is not ideal but colder weather will bring it back hopefully slowing down and spring salmon running the river giving the lower Tay beats a much better chance.
As to methods, in settled conditions fishing by any method should be slow and deep with large lures to catch the elusive Tay Springer.
Fly Rods.
The Tay is a large river especially when running at a normal level and even in lower levels you are fishing another river within the mighty one so therefore a 15 foot fly rod for a 10 weight line is certainly minimum requirement for much of the season. Do not come under gunned.  In some parts of the river where it is especially wide even longer rods are used. It should be noted however that it is better to cast a shorter controlled line than try to cast out with your capabilities and have the lines end up in a mess and decrease your chances. 

A main line of 20 pounds in nylon or 30 pounds in braid. You should use a lesser poundage far a cast such as 15 pounds so if you get caught up on the bottom you do not lose a large part of your main line. 

Baits.

Tobies from 18gm upwards. Toby Salmos are very popular in 30gms. Conventional weighted Devon’s are good especially in the Spring. Rapalas and Vision 110’s are very effective. 
The Stanley beats are steeped in history and this year we have reduced the available rods to 4 giving you far more opportunity and value for money. Look forward to seeing you on the beats. Feel free to contact us direct on robert.salmonfishing@googlemail.com or 07979528134
