Salmon Fishing Trip On The River Tay With Tay Salmon Fly Part 1

This week we have been out chasing the River Tay salmon with our deadly flies. We had booked on the Murthly 1 Beat with Ghillie Donald Tritton. After the morning meet and greets we were allocated our pools for the morning. I made my way to the "well" with my trusty MacKenzie DTX and my favourite summer fly the Executioner. On my 5th cast I hooked a spirited fish which was swiftly landed and it was a coloured hen salmon of around 7lbs.

After quickly releasing  the salmon I went back into the pool and shortly afterwards I was in to another salmon this one was slightly bigger at around 9lbs and was swiftly returned.

The rest of the morning failed to produce any further action to we returned to the hut for lunch. During lunch the sun came out and was rather bright so I decided not to fish the afternoon session and save the efforts for the evening..........

The Usual Shrimp Salmon Fly

After seen the old Scandinavian pattern The Usual, I had the idea in my head of turning it in to a shrimp fly pattern, I played with a few materials until I was happy with the final product. The Usual Shrimp was born.
Since I introduced this fly to a few of my fishing friends it has taken quite a few fish for them, their main like for the fly is its ability to tempt the bigger fish.
Off all the reports that I've had back about the fly for anglers the average size of salmon landed on the fly is 17lbs.
I have a few more new patterns that are in testing at the moment and hope to have them available soon.

Description

Dunkeld House Fishings is one of the most scenic beats on the Middle Tay. Situated immediately above Dunkeld's Old Tay Bridge, the beat boasts 14 named pools, with fishing available on both banks.
Water conditions permitting, two boats and 2 ghillies work the beat, offering every type of Salmon Fishing for our guests' enjoyment. Our beat is attached to Hilton Hotel's Scottish flagship hotel, Hilton Dunkeld House, from where a short stroll in the morning leads to our fishing hut.
We can offer tuition for the novice and informative advice on flies/lures/lines etc for more experienced anglers.
We can accommodate up to eight anglers daily on the beat, with up to two rods in each boat (harling, spinning or bait fishing). For safety reasons we feel that only one person can fly-fish from the boat at a time. The use of both banks allows the angler access to uncongested water even in lower water conditions.

BANK - Fishing is fom the bank only with no ghillie supplied unless you elect to pay for one separately.
BOAT - Fishing has to be booked for two people fishing in the same boat. If only one person wants to fish, he still has to pay for both rods to cover the cost of the ghillie and boat provided. For safety resaons we do not recommend that more than one person fly fishes from the boat at the same time.
