The River Tay is the longest river in Scotland, at 117 miles long. Its source and headwaters comes from almost the other side of the country, the west coast of Scotland, and then the river empties Loch Tay at Kenmore and starts its journey eastwards to the Tay Estuary and the North Sea. The Tay regularly produces very big fish, including the current UK rod caught salmon record, caught by Miss Georgina Ballantine in 1922, weighing 64lbs. The Atlantic salmon is such a powerful fish, and somehow a real symbol of ancient Scotland. Catching one in Scotland is every angler’s dream and according to Visit Scotland, one of the top ten attractions in Scotland. A Bucket List Dream!

The salmon season on the River Tay runs from 15th January to 15th October, and you can extend fishing to 31st October on excellent tributaries like the River Earn, and the River Tummel, the former is one of the best Autumn rivers for Salmon in Scotland.

A typical salmon fishing day on the River Tay

You can be collected from your hotel by your guide, a day normal runs from 08:00 to 18:00, however, we are flexible with timings. The best places to stay for fishing the Tay are the city of Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Strathtay areas. A full list of recommended fishing accommodation can be found here.
