Fishing on Dalguise, on the middle Tay, stout tackle will be required in spring and autumn, or even in summer if there happens to be a flood. Fly fishing in the spring or autumn 15-18ft rods will be required coupled with fast sinking lines, but bring the sink tip just in case of a mild dry day. Weight forward or even shooting heads can be worth bringing, as a longer cast may make all the difference, the Ghillie will advise on the day. Many anglers opt to spin in high water. So, a good 10ft spinning rod will be required with a large capacity fixed spool reel or even a multiplier with 15lb line. Popular baits for bank fishing include devon minnows, especially wooden ‘floating’ Devon’s fished with a lead weight, toby salmis (between 18g and 30g), blair spoons and Flying C’s. For harling from the boat the Ghillie will supply you with rods and the appropriate plugs. In summer on Dalguise a 15ft fly rod will still be necessary with floating line or sink tip.
