Salmon Fishing | Lower Bolfracks Part 1 | River Tay | March 2023

In this video I travelled up to Lower Bolfracks Fishery near Aberfeldy. Immediately I was impressed by how much investment the owners had clearly put into the fishery. With wooden board walks, new huts and secure parking I felt really comfortable going down to the river via the newly created paths.
The fishing was varied and I was able to fish both with the Spinner and Fly (see part 2). I also bumped into the owner Jim who explained everything they had achieved since purchasing the fishery in 2017. I was very impressed and look forward to returning in the future.
I paid £35 for the day via Fishpal
My channel is called Cornish Chris the Fish. I am a Cornishman venturing out beyond the Duchy to experience life on the road full time touring in my Caravan Dalleth Arta, fly fishing and vlogging my adventure. I am a novice Salmon Fisherman so join me as I experience the topsy turvey world of Salmon Fishing. I am charting my fishing adventures and will profile each fishery that I attend. I may even catch a few fish 😀

Lovely stuff again. I had an odd day. A good day, but a little odd. my local river hasn't quite woken up yet, but the first signs are just starting to show. I love this time of year. Apart from the cold, the rain, the snow, the sleet and the lack of fish.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

What more could we ask for eh?! 😀👍

[@neilandrew961]

Superb again sir it was great to see you meet the chap that owns the beat and what a helpful guy he was was fishing tay few years ago on a private beat and got a nice salmon of it then shortly after baillie appeared to check we had permission to fish that was fine he was so glad we had a fish to take home

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks Neil, I fished Orton last week, two great ghillies, nice bit of water. When i was there one of our group caught an 18lb springer, amazing fish. Tight lines for it 👍

@@CornishChrisTheFish brilliant get my quest for a spring salmon going next month only ever got one many years ago

[@sashasophie743]

I have a syndicate rod at Ladykirk on the Tweed. A couple fish have come off but the waters been quite high for the beat lately.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Alot of water about at the moment 🙄👍

[@hardlinesangling]

Tight lines when you go to tulcan. I've never fished the spey but have a couple of days booked for the end of April at Gordon Castle. Only fished the Tay once been meaning to get put for a day on it again at some point.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Definitely recommend Lower Bolfracks 👌

[@darrenwilson1318]

Hey Chris £160 for 2 days hope u have a great time tight lines

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks Darren 👍 you are close 👍

[@lukepitts5774]

Another brilliant video Chris.
My guess is £300 for 2days fishing

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks Luke 👍 hmmm not quite, your guess is a little high 😉

[@alexjoss3597]

hope you enjoy the spey though its ment to be the best of the best

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

It's been pretty good so far, no complaints here 🍻

[@alexjoss3597]

glad to hear it mate get us some good footage 😎

[@clarkson7777]

If the current is like it is in this video, don't retrieve the lure, let it come round on it's own, without retrieve it. If you keep catching the bottom use a lighter lure. It will be much better.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks 👍

[@clarkson7777]

And as for Tulcan I would say £120 for the 2 days.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks Brian....close

[@alexjoss3597]

from the prices ive seen i wouldn't be surprised if it was 700 or 800 pounds for 2 days

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Hmmm not quite 🤔👍

[@flyasfukfishing8631]

£85 a day ? for the tulcan would be my guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ i know the aberlour association water is only £40 a day 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Hmmm a close guess👍

[@flyasfukfishing8631]

@@CornishChrisTheFish im fishing on the orton beat of the spey a week today that cost me £85 😉 so hopefully i get some contact with a fish 🤞🏻

[@tbrownhill]

if you are on beat b at Tulchan,,,listen to Roddy, I had 2 days some time back,,even though I was the lower life form working class he spent more time with me than the money people,,in fact he took me on the last day,,across on the boat to a cracking pool,,,but dont tell the others,,ask Him if he remembers the Rentokil van and the guy who flew the peregrines. I paid 55 pound per day.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks I will try to remember 😊 👍
