Glendelvine is the beat where, in October 1922, Miss Georgina Ballantine landed the biggest rod caught salmon in the British Isles. The fish took two hours and five minutes to land and weighed 64 lbs."The heaviest fish of the season, the fish of many seasons, the record for the British Isles" (Miss GW Ballantine). It remains the record to this day.
The beat flows through stunning countryside with beautiful trees and farmland all around. It fishes well in most heights with some of the best fly water on the Tay. "To some, the uncertainty of fishing constitues its clear attraction: to othrs the fascination lies in the solitude of the surroundings, the fragrance and beauty of the woods, the songs of the birds, and the enchantment of running water." (Miss GW Ballantine)
The Glendelvine fishings rotate with Murthly 1, in season 2025 the syndicate will fish Monday, Wednesday and Friday. When considering catches it is important to take account, the syndicate only fishes three days a week. Most seasons, the beat is lightly fished. The beat is fished excusively by the syndicate and occasionally the beat owners.
The beat has 7 named pools. The Garth, The Minister, The Spruces, The stone seat, The Bargie, The boat pool and Sparrowmuir.
Occasionally an owner's day may be available for rental for all five rods and membership of the syndicate is deemed exclusive.
