THE TAY can lay right and proud claim to being Scotland’s finest salmon fishing river. Its magnificent stature and the glorious natural landscape surrounding it are matched only by the river’s reputation for producing fish of supreme quality and memories for the angler that will last a lifetime.

In the Tay’s productive middle reaches lies the stunning landscape of rural Perthshire, its majestic waters flowing through picturesque, history-steeped communities.
 
Here, too, is where you will find the world-famous Newtyle Beat.

With its charming fishing hut, where tales have been told over many decades of fish caught and the characters who have cast a fly into the beat’s enticing pools, Newtyle today retains that unique atmosphere upon which its impressive reputation is well-founded.

Head Ghillie Martin Ritchie has fished the Tay and its tributaries since the age of just four and his aim is to use that expert knowledge to make your visit to Newtyle the best it can be.

If you are an angler looking for a day’s fishing or a group, party or company seeking some quality time together, the River Tay is the perfect destination and there is no more ideal location to savour that experience than the salmon fishing beat of  Newtyle.
