Doing Your Salmon Permit Justice

Jock Monteith

24th July 2026

What's the point in buying an often expensive salmon fishing permit to then turn up unprepared or unskilled on the salmon river. A basic level of tactical awareness should be mandatory in this business even though many fishers likely wouldn't understand it was for their own benefit and success in the sport.
This is the brown winged version of the Jock's Shrimp fitted with a Partridge Nordic No 6 tube fly hook. This is a true weapon of a salmon fly and lethal for attracting salmon on the famous River Tay and other Scottish salmon rivers.

Fishing A Salmon Fly

Jock Monteith

23rd July 2026

There's far more to Scottish salmon fishing than simply launching your salmon fly out into the river and 'hoping for the best' as the current swings your fly back towards the riverbank. If you develop a sense of 'fly awareness' when you're fishing your success levels will increase significantly.
This shot was taken on the River Tay near Pitlochry during the Summer while I was the salmon guide for this fishing trip fisherman. Many anglers think salmon fishing is mainly about how well they can cast a fly but the truth of the matter is that the important thing to learn is how to move properly between each cast of the fly as that's logically what will place your fly in front of a cooperating salmon if your water coverage is good enough.

Effective Salmon Fly Swim Time

Jock Monteith

22nd July 2026

Effective salmon pool water coverage and a sound understanding of how to react to the inevitable take from a salmon are the biggest two misunderstood aspects of Scottish salmon fishing.
I took this picture of this beautiful perfectly shaped River Tay Spring salmon is probably my most favourite one of all time even though I've photographed thousands of salmon over my professional salmon guide career. This perfect River Tay Spring salmon I caught during the month of May near Dunkeld.

Setting The Salmon Fly Hook

Jock Monteith

21st July 2026

Catching salmon on a fly rod is the most satisfying and exciting method you can use and there's nothing that beats the sound of a fly reel under strain from a lively 'powerhouse' of a fish. Here's a few pointers well worth bearing in mind when you receive your next 'tug' from the underworld!
Here's 1 or 2 perfect fresh run early Spring salmon captured from the River Tay near the mouth of the River Tummel. This fisher caught both salmon on the fly with me as his personal salmon fishing guide late in the afternoon and both fish were caught within a few minutes of one another. It often pays to fish consistently hard until the 5pm end of the fishing day as often fish are on the move late in the afternoon during Springtime and can be caught if you're persistent enough to get your fly in front of them.

Scottish Fishing Guides

Never underestimate the value of having a professional Scottish salmon guide overviewing & adjusting your salmon fishing approach even if you've been salmon fishing for years. The difference between success & failure in this fine pursuit can often be something minor!
This is the lovely salmon pool directly downstream of the Grandtully Bridge on the River Tay in Perthshire. Many salmon are caught immediately above the white water each year by visiting salmon fishing guests. I took this shot during early June during low Summer water conditions.

The Salmon River Vibe

Jock Monteith

19th July 2026

Far too much attention these days is spent trying to work out when the best time would be to visit a certain beat or salmon river. The reason I state this is because a wild Atlantic salmon operates over a completely different frequency and set of rules than we could ever fully understand or appreciate.
The River Tay's Newtyle Beat has many good salmon fishing pools that can be fished with a fly or a spinner. This fly fishing angler is just approaching one such hotspot at the tail of The Trap Pool. I took this shot while working as a salmon fishing guide for this salmon fisher. This fine photograph was taken during August when many fish are present in this lovely Tay salmon pool.

The Atlantean Encounter

Jock Monteith

18th July 2026

While it often appears as if it's getting tougher to catch wild Atlantic salmon on any salmon river over the last few decades there's nothing that beats that electric nudge & pull on the fly reel when the 'Atlantean' does appear!
Here's a fabulous action photograph of Jock Monteith loading up a perfect Spey cast for long range salmon fly delivery across the River Tay with his tweed jacket and chest waders on. This shot was captured on the Meetings Pool of the Lower Kinnaird Beat by top Scottish photographer Louise Bellin.

Jock Monteith

17th July 2026

When fly fishing for salmon with a Spey line it is important that you understand the logical way to manage your running line if you're fishing a longish line. The following information is what works well for me up to a 40 yard delivery.
