The River Tay, one of Scotland’s premier salmon rivers which runs right in front of the cottage, provides challenging and rewarding fishing for all abilities. Step outside the front door and you can cast straight from the riverbank of your own private garden.

The wider Aberfeldy area also offers anglers access to some of the country’s most picturesque fishing waters. Known for its crystal-clear rivers, lochs, and streams, this region is a haven for both seasoned and novice fishermen, offering the thrill of catching brown trout, salmon, and grayling against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush woodlands.

Fishing Seasons:

• Salmon – 15th January to 15th October each year (Scotland’s earliest and longest season).

• Brown Trout – 15th March to 6th October.

• Grayling – No statutory close season; most local permits allow fishing outside the trout season.

• Pike & Perch (coarse fishing) – No close season in Scotland, so coarse fishing for pike and perch is typically available all year.

Please make sure you have the correct permits for the area you will be fishing in. We have the brown trout rights along our stretch of the riverbank, but you will require a permit if you wish to fish for salmon.
