Trout and Grayling Fishing on the River Tummel
The River Tummel is a main tributary of the Tay and is one of Scotland’s best brown trout and grayling rivers. From its source at Stob Ghabbar, the Tummel flows 58 miles, through Loch Tummel, Loch Faskally. Eventually discharging into the River Tay at the Junction beat on Lower Kinnaird.
To begin, your fishing guides are seasoned River Tummel anglers. In fact most have fished this river since childhood. Subsequently, you can learn or improve river fly fishing tactics, like, euronymphing, dry fly, single hand spey casting and fishing the dry dropper.
Your day is further enhanced with access to premium Sage R8 fly rods, Sage Reels, and Sage ESN nymphing rods. Alba are one of the few outfitters in the world to be Sage Endorsed, on the Sage Experiences program.
A typical day starts with an Edinburgh pick up at 08:00am. Therefore you would look to be on the river by 09:15. Naturally, we are flexible with timings.
You should bring a packed lunch on this day, and you should be comfortable walking between the pools. So a degree of fitness is required. Ladies should note, that. the rest room is in the bushes.
All that aside, what you can expect is epic scenery and beautiful fly water. Particularly in April, my favourite time, the sis when you have the opportunity to land a big wild trout. Hatches of LDO’s and March Browns bring on furious feeding moments and the dry fly rod rules king here.
Upstream fishing with dry flies, wets, and nymphing techniques gives the best chance of success.
