Baldarroch by Murthly - River Tay, Perthshire Dunkeld: 6 Miles Perth: 9 Miles Very seldom are we given the opportunity to gain access to a ‘new’ stretch of salmon water on the famous River Tay. Baldarroch Estate, by Murthly has recently changed hands, and for the first time the Salmon fishing within the estate is being offered for let on a daily basis. The fishing has been previously let on a very irregular ad hoc basis, being very lightly fished by the previous owner. Baldarroch is situated upstream of the world famous beats such as Islamouth, Meikleour and Kercock; and downstream from Burnbane, Glendelvine and the Murthly Castle fishings. The fishings are very private, secluded and in an enchanting picturesque area abundant with wildlife. The fishings are strategically very well located, and would be defined as a lower beat of the middle section of the river. The neighbouring beats regularly produce excellent catches, and although previous records are incomplete, this section would appear to offer considerable scope. The beat is located on the south side of the river, right hand bank looking downstream, and offers a variety of fly and spinning throughout its 3/4 mile course. There is a very experienced full time ghillie included, complete with boat and a splendid fishing/luncheon hut. In order to give maximum pleasure, the number of rods is restricted to a total of 3 per day. The current owner has transformed the fishings, having carried out considerable improvements, including obtaining professional advice in the creation of additional lies within the beat. Bill Sutherland, the resident ghillie, has spent a lifetime involved with Salmon angling, including a long spell at Royal Balmoral. As you would expect, service in this estate is second to none. Costs per rod per day including ghillie are as follows:- |
