• Perthshire contains a wealth of salmon, sea trout and brown trout waters. The main runs of salmon in the River Tay and River Earn occur January to April and late August to October. The period from mid-May to the end of August is normally the time of year when rod catches are lower and therefore the price charged for some beats is considerably reduced. The best fishing periods for salmon are spring and autumn, and for sea trout May and June.
