HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 SEASON

2010 season has started with the opening of the Tay Salmon season on 15 January. So far there appears to have been a good spread of "Springers" landed and returned on the various river beats throughout the Tay system.

I would imagine that some of these fish will be in Loch Tay and this could be a productive venue over the next few weeks and months.

I would try the West end of the loch, flatline trolling using tomic lures, kynochs should be the order of the day.  One of the prized colours on the Tay system is a 4" or 5" pearly/pink tomic however, I would also give a white kynoch a swim.  Spend time in areas of drop offs and at mouths of burns and river.  These fish tend to be around 8 feet down, so hogging the shoreline is the order of the day.

I have not had any reports of fish from the loch as yet, surprising but there are no guarentees in fishing.

If anyone is fortunate to hook and land a spring salmon I would encourage that these are returned safely to the water  inline with TDSFB recommendations.
