Salmon

RIVER TUMMEL – PORTNACRAIG PITLOCHRY
The River Tummel is a large river, noted for its spring salmon and also with runs of summer salmon and grilse. The 5 year catch average for the beat is around 80 fish. April through to June is the best time for springers and grilse numbers are highest in July and August. Water level below Pitlochry Dam.

RIVER GARRY - RUAN RUARIE
This is the first beat on the Garry that salmon encounter as they head towards the upper reaches of the Rivers Tilt and Errochty. Fish usually reach here by late April. Water level at Ruan Ruarie.

Important - Salmon Catch & Release until April 1

Trout & Grayling

RIVER TUMMEL - PITLOCHRY to BALLINLUIG
