Salmon Fishing Courses on the River Tay in Scotland 2019

Last year saw the first of my Scottish Salmon Fishing Courses since I lived there in the mid 90’s. Next season we have two more courses to offer. A mixed course of ladies and gentlemen and the second is a ladies only course.

Each course has a maximum of six people and will be based on learning and improving your salmon fishing skills. These courses are for beginners and improvers and will concentrate on all topics regarding salmon fishing with the fly including double handed rods and single handed.
Topics include: Safety around water, safe wading and correct use of life jackets and wading sticks. All the necessary casts including, Roll, Spey, Skagit, Scandi, and Switch lines. Sinking line work included. Choice of flies and leader material. Knot tying. The life cycle of the salmon. Water craft and salmon fishing techniques for low and high water. And most of all we are going to have fun.

This is a four night residential course, with three days salmon fishing and teaching by myself on the famous Kercock beat on the River Tay assisted by the Head Gillie Gary Harkin. We will be staying at the Tayside Hotel in Stanley and all meals including lunch is included in the price.
