Here are the highlights of superb river Tay and Tay tributary fishing opportunities in Perthshire from this superb network – all of which we can arrange for you, with or without rods and tackle, ghillie, tuition, lunch and hospitality.Loch Fishing
Loch fishing in Perthshire truly is loch fishing paradise. Highland Perthshire benefits from its many flat waters (mostly!) for sensational mixed loch fishing, some massive lochs like Rannoch, Tummel, Ericht and Tay, but also smaller, delightful hill and moor lochs such as Laidon and Eigheach, and of course many other smaller lochs and reservoirs. A myriad of lochs full of wild brown trout which have made this part of Scotland a mecca for fishermen. Go as you please – or enjoy guided visits with an expert ghillie who knows the lochs in this wonderful area. Again get someone local who will be happy to arrange everything – excellent safe and well maintained boats, access and permits, ghillie, rods and tackle, lunch, transport if necessary – and great hospitality. Hill Lochs
You only have to take a look at Ordnance Survey Maps of Tayside, to see the number of hill lochs scattered throughout the Scottish Highlands area. There are boats available on some of the lochs. Trout are typically less than a pound in weight and sometimes only half of that. One or two lochs have better quality feeding that sustains trout that are larger than usual, perhaps up to two pounds. However what they lack in size, they more than make up for in fighting qualities. Sometimes they rise freely to the fly, occasionally they can be frustratingly difficult. Large trout are sometimes caught and these can be very large indeed, occasionally into double figures. Stillwater Fisheries
There are a large number of stillwater fisheries throughout the region, which offer convenient fishing mostly for rainbow trout and several of them specialise in producing large trophy fish. Coarse Fishing Coarse fishing in Perthshire and Scotland is growing in popularity. All trout angling clubs on the River Tay are obliged by law to sell permits for other species. Grayling, pike, perch and roach are the most common species. In addition there are some specialist venues listed below which offer sport for carp and tench as well.
