When salmon fishing on the River Tay, you really experience the grandeur of Scotland. The Tay is the longest river in Scotland and is second only to the Tweed as the most prolific of our Atlantic salmon rivers. By virtue of its size, the Tay presents two big advantages to the visiting fisherman.
During the spring salmon fishing in Scotland probably offers the greatest opportunity for a “bend in the rod” than at any other time of the year. However, do not be misled, that bend in the rod may not always be from a shiny fresh-run salmon. Particularly in the early couple of months of the season, there are many “kelts” in the rivers. These are salmon which arrived in the rivers during the previous year, spawned and managed to survive long enough to start heading back to sea.
