Salmon Fishing Cargill Beat, River Tay, Perthshire. Salmon fishing in beautiful Perthshire countryside the Cargill beat flows amidst spectacular scenery.

These unspoilt and beautiful surroundings are the perfect setting for the sport provided by the migratory Atlantic salmon. Cargill offers some of the most exciting Salmon fishing in Scotland producing numerous Salmon over 20lbs every season and for the second consecutive year landing the largest Salmon from the Tay a superb 40lb c**k fish. The beat has a 5 year average catch of 349 Salmon which ca

n be caught by fly fishing or spinning on this 1.2 mile prime salmon water. The beat is available on a daily or weekly let for up to six rods, anglers can fish from the bank, boat or by wading. We have our own Ghillies on the beat all of which are expert fly casters and tutors who will help our clients to learn all disciplines in Salmon fishing. They have all fished the Tay since a young age building a wealth of knowledge and understanding which is most valuable to our guests in helping them to catch their prize.

A bit of a rise in the river today slowed things down a bit for our guests from the business group YPO. Many first time anglers out today and everyone seemed to enjoy the Cargill experience. A huge thanks to Sarah Lennie from My Passion for supplying an amazing lunch for the guys. We did manage to hook one fish, but tomorrow we will go out and do it all again. A falling river tonight so hopefully tomorrow will be the day. Tight lines David

Close but no cigar this morning for young William from Northampton at Cargill. This fish decided to wrap itself around a stick just prior to netting. Anyway we will push on and with perfect conditions I’m sure there’ll be more bent rods today. Tight lines David

Despite the water still being very coloured today at Cargill we have had a good start to the day with a nice fish on the fly for Grant Doig. Interestingly this was a slightly older fish which is encouraging that we are starting to get fish laying up in the pools now. Tight lines David

Our Nemesis the river Isla has really coloured up the river at Cargill today. What a frustrating year for conditions it’s been up to now. We still keep trying though. Tight lines David

The river is up a bit today at Cargill and is very dirty after yesterday’s heavy thunderstorms. Fortunately that looks like the last of the rain for a few days so hopefully it’ll clear soon. Tight lines David

Here’s something I’ve never came across before, I think it’s called a horsehair worm or parasite. It was swimming about at my feet this morning. It looks like something out of a horror movie it was about 12 inches long. Tight lines David

A bit of coloured water coming out of the Isla tonight at Cargill. Another fish lost again today, but sometimes you go through spells like that. Encouraging to see fish running every day now, so I’m sure the losses will turn around. We’ve only 9 rods left for the rest of the season so if you want a chance at Cargill get booked up soon. Tight lines David

A proper Tay May springer on the fly for Ian Muir this morning at Cargill. Great effort considering rising coloured water. Tight lines David

A bit of a traditional kit to try out this morning at Cargill, some serious rain forecast so we will make the most of the good conditions. Tight lines David

Another one notched up to the lost list this morning at Cargill. Surprisingly murky water today, not sure where that’s came from but nice to see a few fish running through. Tight lines David

Finally after many many losses we got one in the net at Cargill this morning. Perfect conditions, hopefully the start of many more. Tight lines David

The weather has definitely took a turn for the better in the last few days at Cargill, 22 degrees at lunchtime and it feels like it going to get hotter! Some fish seen running through this morning and a small sea trout landed. Tight lines David
