Here a perfectly set lunch table on the River Tay near Dunkeld during a salmon fishing event day. Nothing beats a gourmet lunch provided by a Michelin starred chef while overlooking a famous Scottish salmon river.

Scottish salmon served in 3 different ways on a fine dining plate, a Perthshire menu favourite. Many River Tay salmon fishing guests love our professional catering services which make for a memorable lunch during our corporate salmon fishing hospitality days.

Here's myself with a group of 5 salmon event fishing day guests on the River Tay near Dunkeld. Bigger fishing groups are becoming more popular on the Scottish salmon rivers and adding a professionally catered fishing hut lunch to the day is a lovely touch. This fine salmon fishing group shot was taken outside the Kinnaird fishing hut on the River Tay in Perthshire.

This tasty dish was prepared by leading Perthshire Michelin starred chef Jeremy Wares who has been our chosen riverbank catering chef for the last 15 years. Great food tastes even better while overlooking the River Tay in the company of great friends and attentive salmon guides and superb catering staff. This lovely ribeye steak was exceptionally tasty!

Look at this perfect early morning River Tay salmon fishing hut perfection which I took after preparing the hut for a group of salmon fishing holiday guests. It's always great to get down to the fishing hut early to prepare all of the fishing kit for the guests and light the fire. This is the Kinnaird Beat fishing hut which is located between the Perthshire towns of Pitlochry & Dunkeld.

Here's a group of happy River Tay salmon guided fishers enjoying a beer at lunchtime after a proper chef prepared riverbank fishing hut lunch. The Scottish rivers make the perfect location for a fully catered salmon fishing event day.

Salmon Fishing Trips

By Jock Monteith 12th December 2017

Having the ability via a professional salmon fishing agent who can tailor your fishing trip to include additional services is always going to provide a far superior 'client experience'.

Over the decades I've had many requests for extra riverbank services from 'grid references' for helicopter landings to distant pipers on the hill.

This is the tail of the Gauge Tree Pool on the Dunkeld House salmon fishing beat of the River Tay slightly upstream of the historic Dunkeld Bridge which you can clearly see in this photograph. I took this shot of one of our River Tay salmon fishing trip guests while working as his salmon fishing guide on the Tay. This shot was taken at dusk and you can see the sunset still illuminating the hills behind the bridge.

Scottish Salmon Fishing

Thinking outside the box and rapid delivery action have always been 2 of my strong points and you'll no doubt observe some of these traits in these daily newsletter postings. I personally cannot stand anything that hinders or gets in the way of the progress of Scottish salmon fishing as this pursuit is far too special to Scotland for hinderance of any kind.

Here's Jock Monteith powering upstream in a traditional larch built River Tay salmon fishing 'coble' boat at the confluence of the River Tay & River Tummel during the month of May. Jock has his cold weather clothing on and Tweed cap in addition to his life jacket which is essential for all boat or riverbank duties.

River Tay 2018 Salmon Fishing Season

Four weeks and I'm already counting down the days to the start of the 2018 River Tay salmon fishing season and what a fantastic thing that will be to be back out in pursuit of our spectacular Spring salmon. They really are so special 'visually & powerfully' and an encounter with one via a 15ft length of carbon fibre even more so.

Here's an upstream shot of the neck of the Boatlands salmon pool with the Dunkeld Hills visible in the background which is typical of the perfect scenery on the middle area of the River Tay. This salmon fisher shot was taken by myself as I was this angler's salmon fishing guide for the day.

The Scottish Salmon Rivers

On another personal note I see the Scottish rivers and their aquatic contents as the most attractive natural assets in the world which need to be treated accordingly by anyone who dares to step up to the mark as their representative. The old analogy 'lead, follow or get out of the way' keeps coming to mind.

This photograph of professional Scottish salmon fishing guide Jock Monteith was captured by TV producer Chris Webster outside Ferry Cottage on the Kinnaird Estate of the River Tay in Perthshire. You can see the snow clad hills and riverbanks in the background.

This shot was taken by professional Scottish photographer Peter Sandground while Jock was in his tweed jacket and traditional River Tay salmon fishing boat near Dunkeld. You can almost make out the bluebells on the grassy slopes in the background.
