I've seen this fishery on the north side of Friarton bridge and also wondered about it so any info would help, I know it's not Sandyknowes as this is at Bridge of Earn.

I wasn't aware that this fishery had opened and I don't have anything useful like contact info etc but I know that it was being created by Tay Salmon Fisheries Ltd.

definately not sandyknowes gus and your right that it is closed unfortunatelythere was definately guys fishing it sunday troutbum

do you know if its a syndicate water or open to the public

there has been no advertisement in the area ! i heard it was opening ! i will ask around for any info!

I was under the impression that it was to be open to the public and also used for Tay Salmon Fisheries' corporate clients. I think it was originally scheduled to open last September but I believe they had some problems with encroachment from the Tay when high water coincided with big tides so they may have had to do a bit of extra work to build up the banks.

I believe that it is due to open in May, the date will be advertised locally I will post if I hear anythign more definite.

Scott.

Don't think it is officially open but one of the perth clubs were to be fishing it early april, think it was Perth Civil service. May have been them who were fishing it.

Surprised it was allowed on the banks of the river, I assume it will be flooded on a regular basis.
