Each of Scotland's 400 plus salmon rivers have their own individual kind of special magic. None more so that Perthshire's famous River Tay which is Scotland's largest and deepest salmon fishing river. The Tay Valley around the area of Dunkeld & Pitlochry is certainly one of the most desirable salmon fishing areas in the whole of Scotland.
Here's a lovely upstream shot of a River Tay salmon pool known as 'The Trap' which is located slightly downstream of the Perthshire town of Dunkeld. Many salmon are caught in this area of the Tay each year by hundreds of annually returning salmon fishing guests.
