Scotland's most abused river? - The Garry

Your bang on. These guys should be throwing money rapid style at this project. So far not the case but I've engineered a master plan which if it comes of will hoover them all up at once !!!
(and it looks likely but not certain yet so got to keep it quiet for a few weeks).

There's a fisher of mine who works in Dubai who has had one Tay salmon 2 Aprils ago with me who today transferred 2K to SNW's for the project !!!!!! So although you know as well as I do who should be putting the money up there are plenty others who are very keen to help with the survey costs of which we now have over 1/3 rd obtained.

Given the state of the Tay just now there should be a line of riparian owners waiting for SNW's Aberfeldy office to open each morning with cheques in hand.
Tell's you a lot about the calibre of Tay salmon beat owners.
The 2 clans in Scotland: Clan A The McTaks, Clan B The McGhees. Sadly the McTaks are over populated !!!!!! (especially in this valley).
When has Taymount ever blanked at this time of year (normally 20 before lunch !!).

How do you eat an elephant - one bite at a time !!!!!!!!!!

With regards to recognizing a major problem: if it looks like an elephant, and sounds like an elephant, it must BE an elephant.......... then you can start eating it

All quiet on the Garry front at the moment, anyone got any news/ comments worth sharing??

Moderator,

I notice no-one other than myself and Willie the Ghillie have posted on here for over 6 weeks. I guess this campaign has ran it's course. Maybe best just to remove pin and let it fall away. People can revive it if they see reason to do this.

Regards,

A very good report in the Scotsman at the weekend - the journo seems to have picked up on all the salient issues!

Good post Dunbar.

But what does this mean? Does it mean the Garry campaign is going nowhere, that the whole thing is sown up and that TDSFB campaign will just be swatted aside like some sort of minor irritation?

I would like to see some clarification of where we are with this at the moment.
