Salmon Fishing on the River Tummel
Spring salmon can be
up as far as the dam at Pitlochry from the start of the season but few
will now be taken in the opening month. Numbers will build up over the
next few months, with the best of the fishing in May. The best of the
fly fishing water is in the lower section down towards the junction with
the Tay. Visitor permits are available at reasonable cost for the
Portnacraig beat, controlled by Pitlochry Angling Club. Permits are also
available for the trout fishing on the Tummel, which can be excellent.

The maps on this website have been
reproduced with the permission of Collins Bartholomew.
Please note that these maps may date back several decades.
Much of the human detail will have changed but the character of the rivers and
lochs, and the trout and salmon in them, will be much the same as they have
always been.
In addition to the information provided
here, I would recommend that anyone planning a fishing or
walking trip in Scotland should equip themselves with a compass
and the appropriate Ordnance Survey map. The most useful of the
O.S. maps for the fisherman is the Landranger series, scale
1:50,000. For each of the lochs and rivers listed here, I have given the
relevant O.S. Map number. See Ordnance
Survey Maps |
