Scotland offers some of the finest
salmon fishing in the world to
everyone, whether a novice or
seasoned angler. The world famous
rivers and lochs; the Tay, Dee, Tweed,
Tummel, and the Nith are the closest
to Pittormie and best known.
Salmon fishing is available
somewhere in Scotland, from
11 January until 30 November,
although some rivers do not open
until February and some close on 30
September.
It is said that runs of salmon may
arrive in our largest river the Tay on
any day of the year but of course
there are peak times for sport-fishing.
Spring salmon are the earliest
running multi sea-winter fish. In
most rivers the main runs start to
arrive in March. On the Tay they can
arrive much earlier, but generally the
numbers are fairly low until then.
April and May are the hot times for
spring salmon.
SALMON FISHING
Fly fishing for Atlantic
salmon is the epitomie of
all fishing.
These fish can be large. Most years
specimens of thirty or more pounds
will be encountered on the larger
rivers. In general the two sea-winter
class of salmon in early spring weigh
between 7 & 12 pounds and the
three sea-winter fish can be double
those weights.

6. TROUT FISHING
THE RESIDENCES AT PITTORMIE
ACTIVITIES BROCHURE
Trout Fishing is an exciting and
rewarding experience. Fly fishing for
trout requires understanding of how
trout think in their own habitat and
circumstances. This goes for external
factors such as weather, season,
oxygenandtemperatureofthewater,
habitat nutrients, reproduction
and feeding habits, among others.
Proper angling methods; rod
and fishing lines that provide the
exact momentum for casting;
lures, tackle, baits and trout flies
create multiple options and are
important things to consider
before going fly fishing for trout.
Spend a very relaxing time fishing
for rainbow and brown trout on
Teasse’s private loch, with only the
sound of the skylarks to disturb the
peace and tranquillity of the Scottish
countryside.
There is a fishing bothy and barbeque
facilities by the lochside. Perfect for
beginners and children, this is an
excellent way to spend a few hours.
