Salmon Fishing Scotland February Spring fishing on the Tay, Perthshire 2016.

February 2016 is seeing some great spring salmon fishing for the Tay in Perthshire especially in the Stanley area of the river with ideal conditions over the last week.

Cold conditions certainly benefit the lower river with Stanley the first stopping point of the spring fish. Catches are well above the 5 year average so far with the prospect of continued cold weather.
