Fishery conditions
1. All Anglers must report to the Ghillie before fishing, and they should meet at the fishing hut beside the car park.
2. The owner reserves the right to fish 2 rods throughout the season.
3. The beat is fished with a maximum of 6 rods. A boat is available at the discretion of the ghillie.
4. Life jackets should be worn at all times, and these will be available in the fishing hut. Tenants who do not wear life jackets do so entirely at their own risk. A charge of £20 will be made for replacement gas cylinders.
5. Anglers should note that it is an offence under Section 55(1) of the British Transport Commission Act 1949 to trespass upon any railway line. Fines of £1,000 can be incurred by offenders. Accordingly, the railway line is strictly out of bounds to anglers.
6. The beat is fished in rotation. You will be allocated a beat, please learn the boundaries of your beat and only fish within the boundaries. Changeover time 1.00pm.
7. Pools are fished in rotation, starting at the top and gradually moving downstream. Do not enter a pool downstream of fellow Anglers.
8. Rod sharing is not permitted.
9. All salmon/sea trout caught must be reported to the ghillie, who maintains fishing records. Fish remain the property of the tenant (see 11 below).
10. The Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board is undertaking a conservation initiative, particularly of spring fish, and we would be grateful if you would adhere to the board's catch and release recommendations.
11. All foul hooked/unseasonable fish must be safely returned to the river. Rods are particularly requested to return all coloured fish at any time throughout the season. The ghillie's decision in this matter is final.
12. Lures: any legal method. Shrimp and prawn prohibited at all times.
13. Use of a gaff is forbidden.
14. Be considerate to fellow anglers.
15. No litter to be discarded. Please bring it back to the fishing hut to be disposed of by the ghillie.

18. The tenant shall not be permitted to assign his tenancy or to sub-let except with the express permission of the proprietors or their agents.
19. The ghillie's word is final.
20. The proprietors will accept no liability whatever for damage, injury or loss to the persons or belongings of the tenant, or those in his party, from whatever cause arising, nor can they be held in any way responsible for adverse weather conditions or acts of God.
21. The tipping of the ghillie is a traditional part of British etiquette and tenants are encouraged to do so.
NOTE: Contravention of the above may result in future access being denied. |

Tay conditions
1. To help prevent an outbreak of Gyrodactylus Salaris which has had catastrophic effects on some foreign rivers, all rods fishing must complete a Gyrodactylus declaration on arrival at the fishery. This states that either you have not used your fishing tackle abroad in the last three months, or you have done so and had it properly sterilised, or you have done so and NOT had it sterilised. In the latter case, you must agree to sterilisation taking place before you start fishing, and accept that there may be some delay in getting this organised. A copy of the declaration form can be seen here
2. The season is from 15th January to 15 October inclusive on the Tay and all tributaries, except the Earn which is 1st February to 31st October.
3. There is no fishing allowed on Sundays.
4. It is illegal to intentionally foulhook fish
5. No prawns or shrimps can be used at any time.
6. The Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board's conservation recommendations should be followed:
From 15 January to 31 May - release the first spring salmon caught each season and at least every second fish thereafter.
From 1st June to 15th October - anglers should aim to release at least 50% of what they catch over this period. In particular anglers are requested to release all coloured and gravid fish. Worms should not be used as bait anywhere before 1st June or in upper tributaries in September and October where coloured spring salmon are waiting to spawn.
