General Information

Findynate enjoyed its best spring for 5 years
in 2001 following on from an excellent grilse
run the previous year. The future for Tay stocks
looks bright with nets being bought out, stocking
programs in place and a high natural spawning
over the past winters.

This is a beautifully secluded beat set beneath
the steep wooded banks. It is thus well sheltered
from the wind and furthermore many of the pools
will have that all important shade at different
times of day. Inspite of its seclusion there is
excellent access by car to the two fishing huts.
After the disasterous season inflicted on us through
foot and mouth it was a delight to find such a
well managed beat which is being given further
investment (a brand new fishing hut went in this
year and its an excellent one).

The banks are well maintained and a pleasure
to fish. The beats are absolutely stuffed with
features with both croys and an abundance natural
rock formations. The whole lot looks fishy. It
lies just upstream of the falls of Grandtully,
making it a highly likely place to catch a fish.

As for the prices… this must be some of the
best value salmon fishing on the whole of the
Tay.. You must give it a try.
