Hi folks :cool:

I'm hoping to get a day on the River Tummel in May and haven't fished it for a number of years ...... so have lost any previous info that I used to use for the river :cry

Has anybody got suggestions for a good beat and where to arrange the permits etc :z17

Thanks
Mike

I can picture the hotel I stayed at ( had lodges outside? ) plus was the "meeting up for breakfast place" prior to signing in for the SANA rivers heats.

Can't for the life of me remember what it was called though :oops

Am getting old :oops

That's about the right area Rob. The hotel doesn't look right though, I can remember the river going past the car park at the rear?

Cheers

Not sure if the tackle shop in Pitlochry is still open , the Tourist information centre is just across the road from the tackle shop or where the tackle shop used to be.

You might get some ides from this link  http://www.anglingintayside.co.uk/fishingcentres.asp?CentreID=11

Plenty of time between now and then though :wink

I'm there on Firday Mike, I'm spending a weekend at St. Fillans and plan a couple of days on Loch Tummel.

The tackle shop used to be Mitchels of Pitlochry, but is now http://www.quayles.uk.com/

I was in there last year, and the owner is a really helpful guy, he deserves to do well :)
