Just noticed that they have found the body of the angler who went missing on the Tay last week. The report I saw said his body had been found 10 miles from where he went missing. Thoughts are with his family at this very sad time.
Make sure if you're out on the river this weekend to take care and never take any chances as no fish is worth losing your life for.

Dreadful, dreadful shame. My condolences to his family.

As good a reason as I've ever heard to get a lifejacket for bigger water.

My deepest sympathy to the family of the Angler (David) who lost his life while fishing the river Tay!

Please take care lads, all our lives are precious! Let this sad loss of life, be a lesson to us all!

never knew this man ,but it always cut deep to hear of a fellow angler losing their life through the love of the sport, my thoughts are with his family,,,a very sad day for them and all who knew this gentleman.

How very, very sad this must be for all the lad's family and friends, and for all who fish rivers, because he was one of 'us', whether we knew him or not.
One way we could show our respect for him is to take more care of ourselves, when on the water, as has been suggested. TerryC

how does something like this happen is it as simple as wading in and slipping or getting off caught by wind. i have never fished rivers and hope to do so in the near future but when you hear things like this happening

a sad loss, condolences to the family and friends

It can happen all to easily. I've been very close to being swept away on a number of occasions. Mostly on the Welsh Dee and the Dee draws no comparrison to the power of a huge river like the Tay.

Very sad to hear of this, as said, let us all try to learn somthing from this.
