Description

This is one of the most picturesque beats on the River Tay with seven superb pools offering the fly fisherman sport the whole length of the beat. The beat fishes well in all heights of water, from late spring and summer into the autumn.

Stenton beat is half a mile long and fished from both banks by wading and from the boat. It is located two miles from Dunkeld and marches with the Glendelvine water where Miss Ballantine caught the British record salmon of 64 lbs.

An arrangement exists with the opposite proprietors whereby anglers fish double bank on alternate days. The Stenton days for 2010 are Monday, Wednesday and Friday commencing on January 17th and finishing on October 14th. Single days for up to three rods are available for let. The rods may fish with the services of a ghillie and boat
