I don`t wander as far as I did when the dog was still about but recently went over to the Tay. I was shocked, but not surprised to see just 2 guys fishing the club beat and in 10-15 minutes I saw 6-7 fish, most head and tailing through from the run below. I have fished this beat and even back then, mid to late 90`s, some of the local guys thought the fishing was *&^%ed, and I now suspect they are right. I had hoped the buy out of the netting would help, but it didn`t, neither did the various rules and regs that were implemented to help stocks recover.
Pretty much a shadow of its former self, I sat on top of the croy above one day about this time of year in the 90`s and just took random photos of the river trying to get pictures of the salmon leaping, I don`t think I got one frame that didn`t have a fish jumping, I couldn`t do that today, so very sad.
