Murthly Beat 2 is one of the best beats on the Tay. For flyfishing
it has few equals. There are two separate beats the Upper Beat and
Stenton which are fished on
alternate days.
Murthly 2 Fishing 2015:
- Stenton water on Mon, Wed, Fri
- Top on Tues, Thur, Sat
One pool, the Island Pool, is fished on all six days. Both the Upper
Beat and Stenton mainly consist of swiftly flowing runs and pools which
all have a good draw on them,
making them ideal for the fly. Fly fishing is the preferred method of
fishing unless the water is high.
These beats fish well throughout the season. Many spring salmon seem to
make their first stop in the Murthly area and so a fresh springer can
always be expected. Then in
the summer the grilse fishing can be first rate. There is usually a
good head of fresh grilse and conditions are perfect for the fly. In low
water conditions the Island
Pool especially fishes wonderfully and is easily one of the best grilse
pools on the Tay. Then given a lift in the water big catches of back
end fish can then be made in
the autumn.
The beat is set among stunning woodland scenery with impressive stands
of mature Douglas Fir and other species giving the whole beat a very
grand feel. There is one ghillie
on the beat and one boat but much of the river can easily and safely be
fished by wading, especially in low water. There is also a comfortable
hut on each beat with full
facilities.
