Well guys only managed to get out on tues and the Tay was well high and fast.
My permit allowed me to fish within Aberfeldy limits and to be honest there was only bout 5 places you could cast trees lined the bank most of the way.

i cast out straight in front of me but before i could even blink the line was gone and the fly skipping the surface along the bank, so needless to say no i didn't catch anything, and it just pi***d down by the bucket load all day  :cry

I took a walk along the bank on Fri morning before we left and the tree branches that was in the water on tues had a good 4 foot of clearance so that shows how big the spate was.

But to be honest as it was my first attempt at river fishing i didn't really know if i was doing it right or wrong, would have been better if i was there with someone who had done it before to give me some real time pointers.

I fished the Ericht yesterday in near perfect conditions , olives hatching, nae sign of the trout though. The water was still freezing still a lot of snow melt coming down from the glens.
Fished for Salmon in the morning and trout in the afternoon , never touched a thing, still I enjoyed the day.
