Description

The Edradynate and Upper Grandtully water is one of the best known beats on the Upper Tay. The beat consists of 1 mile single (left) bank fishing plus one mile double bank fishing.

The beat contains the legendary Church Pool, a long deep holding pool, perhaps the best on the Upper Tay and long famed for producing monsters. The beat contains a mixture of strong flowing pools like the Church Pool and some faster streams. Both fly and spinner are probably required to get the best out of the beat, especially with higher water, but there are some excellent runs for the fly.

Fish can be expected on this beat at any time of the year. It holds spring salmon right from the start of the season but at that time probably benefits from a lower water. In summer the grilse arrive, often bars of silver straight from the sea. Then with autumn spates autumn fish push up from lower down the river.

The river is mostly easily covered from the bank or by wading but a boat and ghillie is required to reach some of the more awkward but really fishy places. The scenery is also tremendous with extensive mature woodland fringing the banks against the splendid backdrop of the Strathtay Hills.

We can also provide excellent accommodation for anglers in our own Appin House. The beautiful Appin House set in the Appin of Dull dates from the 1840s and combines period antique furniture with modern comforts, while preserving the character and ambience of a true Scottish Highland home. There are four double bedrooms and two single rooms and can accommodate up to 12 guests at a time. In the recently renovated Steading there are 2 double suites, all fitted to the highest standard. The cuisine is also excellent, specialising in organic produce from local farms and estates. And last but not least the attentive staff will always be on hand to ensure your stay is as enjoyable and trouble free as possible.
