It(perseverance) ammounts to alot on the Tummel, Scotty. Come back in the spring or early summer, that's the real time for Portnacraig. Innes

Yes, the Tummel is really a spring river with the benefit of grilse if there is a strong run. Our largest fish, 25.5lbs, came in January this year but the peak is mid-March to mid-June, depending on the water levels and temperature. 2800 or so spring fish ran through this year. Innes

Sounds like u had a good day scotty, at least if ur seein fish u've got a bitty hope. I had a day there in June and was standin on the same rock as ur picture; fish jumpin over ma line and all but they wouldny look at feck all.
Lookin forward to geein it a bash next spring hopefully.
Tight lines lad!
