Description

The Coupar Grange Fishings are situated 1 mile from Coupar Angus and 4 miles from Blairgowrie. Both Perth and Dundee are just 20 minutes by car.

Accommodation, both bed bed breakfast or hotel, can be arranged for our guests.

The Coupar Grange beat has in the past been overlooked by certain fishermen looking for classic fly fishing but with a bit of water on the river the fishing is second to none. With sixteen named pools and runs, the three year average for springers is over 160 fish and the summer salmon and grilse take the yearly average to over 470 fish. Fly fishing accounts for 80% of the fish but spinning also does well. Certain areas are reserved for fly only fishing. A ghillie can be arranged for fishers unfamiliar with the water.

Coupar Grange will be strictly adhering to the Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board catch and release recommendations. Full details of these can be found at www.tdsfb.org.

The fishing comprise 2 miles of double bank, with easy access to the river and adequate parking, spilt into a 3 rod upper beat and a 3 rod lower beat rotating at lunchtime on a daily basis.

For wildlife enthusiasts Coupar Grange boasts a great variety of birds and mammals with osprey, peregrine, kingfishers, buzzard, roe deer, otter, hares and water vole seen regularly so bring your camera.

We would like to remind all anglers that Coupar Grange has banned the use of worms until 1st June, in conjunction with the Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board recommendations.
