WELCOME TO The River Tay
CARING FOR SCOTLAND’S LARGEST RIVER SINCE 1863
The River Tay is Scotland’s longest and mightiest river. Its huge catchment covers 10% of the country, straddling its centre from coast to coast. Its fame as a salmon river is legendary too. It is here that the British record rod caught salmon, a 64 pounder, was landed by Miss Georgina Ballantine in 1922.
But the River Tay needs help.
The Tay Rivers Trust and the Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board are two organisations with the common purpose of caring for its fish populations and their environment. The Board is a statutory organisation which has been protecting and improving salmon fisheries since 1863. The Trust, with a mission to conserve all fish species and their habitats, is responsible for research, education and public engagement.
Here, you will find information on the River Tay, its fish and their environment. Where to go fishing, fishing reports including salmon and sea trout catches, river levels and much more.
You can see what we do and how you too can engage with us.
Enjoy this wonderful resource.
