Look at this for professional chef fishing hut lunch table preparation. This is the Kinnaird salmon fishing hut near Dunkeld on a corporate hospitality event salmon fishing day. The table you see is made from solid oak and this big 8ft x 4ft window overlooks the River Tay which you can see through the balustrade.

For bigger salmon fishing event groups a proper catered lunch can be provided in the comfort of the fishing hut. These catered lunch days are great for corporate parties or for large groups of fishers who book the beat for themselves. This was one such catered lunch scene on the River Tay at Dunkeld during July.

This was 1 or 4 perfect salmon that were caught by this new salmon fisher on the River Tay where he came to learn how to salmon fish. This one was caught at the Guay Pool near the Perthshire town of Dunkeld which is a very popular Tay Valley fishing area for salmon fishing holiday guests. Look at the perfect silvery flanks of this fine fish and note this happy salmon fisher is wearing a life jacket for wading safety.

Here's a group of Canadian salmon fishers who had come to fish the River Tay learning how we tie our salmon flies onto the leader. This photo was taken near Murthly on the River Tay in Perthshire while professional salmon guide Jock Monteith was teaching these salmon fishing holiday guests the basic salmon fishing skills.

Here's salmon fisher Willie Logan with a fantastic fresh run salmon at the neck of the Rock Pool on the Kinnaird beat of the River Tay. You can see the traditional Tay salmon boat in the background which assisted with the capture of this fish along with Willie's professional River Tay salmon guide.

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.

It's amazing how a salmon fishing hut can be transferred into a restaurant for salmon fishing event guests when a professional caterer is brought in. This fisher's lunch was prepared in the Meikleour salmon fishing hut on the River Tay near the Perthshire village of Stanley.

Salmon Fishing Events

There's no other pursuit in the natural world that can generate the same excitement and anticipation levels as what a trip to Scotland's famous River Tay can do.

Add into the mix a Michelin starred riverbank catered lunch and the finest professional River Tay salmon fishing guide staff and you've now got something really special to offer your corporate guests.

Here's a few River Tay corporate salmon fishing guests having a celebration after a great day out salmon fishing near Dunkeld. All salmon fishing venues have luxury salmon fishing lodges located beside the river like this which are perfect for special riverbank fishing hut occasions like these.

Corporate Salmon Fishing Hospitality

Our renowned salmon fishing event days commence with a brief overview of the sport and how we set out our stall to catch salmon with a discussion about the natural world and how salmon fishing plays a big part in the Scottish rural economies. Further discussion topics on river habitats and the importance of 'catch and release' to conserve this iconic Scottish asset are also entered into.

Here's a guided River Tay salmon fishing guest fishing his way methodically down through the Meetings Pool on the Upper Kinnaird salmon beat which is a perfect holding area for salmon in medium to low water levels from mid March through to October each year. Look at the beautiful fully leafed oak trees on the far side of the river.

How The Salmon Fishing Day Is Structured

Once the theory of the sport has been discussed we then kit every guest out with appropriate sized waders, waterproof jackets, life jackets and all the required salmon fishing equipment to match the prevailing daily water conditions. Our professional River Tay salmon guide staff will then perform a group teaching lesson to make sure everyone in the party has an understanding of salmon river fishing tactics and important river safety protocols.

Here's a shot of a professional salmon guide and his salmon fishing guest out on the famous Ash Tree Pool of the River Tay which is located in Highland Perthshire between Pitlochry & Dunkeld. This is a great area of the River Tay to fish for Atlantic salmon.

Salmon Fishing Teams

At mid morning we split or guest party up into three groups who will all approach the river with a different fishing tactics; boat fishing, fly fishing & spin fishing. These different fishing disciplines will be rotated throughout the course of the salmon fishing event day so all guests gain hands on fishing experience with each fishing approach method before the end of their fishing day.

Nothing beats a properly prepared salmon fishing lunch after a morning of fly fishing tuition on the River Tay. Salmon fisher event days are increasing in popularity for organisations to bring their key staff and business associates for a day of salmon fishing on the famous River Tay. I took this shot of my happy corporate salmon fishing clients in the Kinnaird fishing hut.

The Salmon Fishing Lunch

The fishing day lunch is usually set for 1pm and anticipation always grows as we approach the luxury salmon fishing hut to see what our professional catering staff have prepared and how the fishing hut has been transformed into what usually looks like a five star restaurant! It never fails to amaze me as to how any fishing hut can be easily converted with white table cloths, quality cutlery and a crystal wine glasses.

The Best Salmon Fishing Venues & Guides

It is usually always certain that during the course of our salmon fishing event days a salmon or two will cooperate as we always endeavour to select the best seasonal River Tay salmon fishing venues and top performing professional salmon guide staff. There's nothing that beats a good quality photograph of a new salmon fisher holding a perfect River Tay salmon on their first attempt at salmon fishing.
