Cargill beat- River Tay beat report

Cargill beat- River Tay beat report. The river is currently still very cold and clear with the river level hovering below 1ft. This creates good fishing conditions but with a water temperature of 1 ̊c spring salmon are only making tentative steps into freshwater. However Cargill again produced a lovely spring salmon at 15lb. Hooked on a pink and pearly kynoch in the Rumbling stone the bar of silver was landed by Bobo Forrest. A cracking fish for his first every salmon. As always this springer was returned carefully and swam away strongly. Snow is again falling in the Tay valley, so a rise in water levels is predicted. The resultant rise in water temperature should encourage more fish movement. There are still plenty of big kelts being caught which in the clear water are fighting hard. March will see an increase in numbers as Ericht bound fish begin advancing.
