Angling in Tayside

From the Forward to “Angling in Tayside” a highly recommended fishing guide written by Ally Gowans.

"Although known as a salmon angler and fly tyer – and few of us have not had success thanks to his fly the Ally’s Shrimp, Ally has also enjoyed sea fishing and casting flies for trout on various Tayside waters. His expertise as a fly caster is acknowledged by his contemporaries many of whom, myself included have had to stand and watch as Ally covered water we could not reach and inevitably took a fish. Ally is in the rare category of being able to do it, teach it and write about it, which made him an ideal author for this guide book."

If you are interested in fishing in Scotland please visit www.flyfish-scotland.com, which is devoted to Scottish angling with lots of information about what you will need, the most used flies and fishing methods for trout, salmon and pike. Various fishing beats to let are available. It also contains details of my local area, the most beautiful part of the Scottish Highlands. Pitlochry is situated 25 miles north of Perth on the A9 highway, which leads to Inverness. It has good rail communications and is approximately a one hour drive to Edinburgh Airport and about one and a half hours to Glasgow.
