Doing Very Well Thanks

Given the low catches on the river, especially the lower river, Upper Redgorton is more than holding it's own. Getting a fish at the moment is much harder than getting one in the spring and most of the beats on the Tay know it. Our rods should be very proud of themselves, thanks guys.
One of two fish  Richard Onslow, part of the Williams party, landed in the Craigs on monday fishing the URG bank on the fly. Great!
Mike Duffield got one first thing from the boat in the Fireshot, again on the flea on tuesday. Fantastic to hear your Perfect sing once again Mike.
It was Mikes son James Duffield who was next to strike twice in the Craigs on wednesday morning. Two fish, the biggest 15lb both on a Cascade. Fantastic Jim, and the picture will follow.
Today Alan Everington was in action getting a fresh grilse in Berhaugh with Jock, number 6 this week on the fly,  great height down there at the moment and well done.

Holland House Electrical

Guests of Holland House have been in action this week picking up a few fish in difficult conditions. But with a rise in the water we should be getting a few more too.
Alistair Dunnet caught this fine Salmon on a Monkey fly in the Craigs before releasing.
Ian Willis landed this fish on a Vision, well done Ian.
And Nigel (lord) Ford after some fly fishing tips from Mick Mcdaid caught and landed this cracking grilse.
Great going Nigel and lets hope for many more for you in the future.

August Fish

Stuart and Archie Mitchell got the back end off to a start with a lovely wee grilse taken on the harl.
The river has been very low and warm over the last 6 weeks and even though we have dirty water - at least we have water now and as a result we also have fish.
looking forward to next week already!
