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.
