Members enjoy access to trout and grayling fishing on much of the lands owned by the Estate and in addition salmon fishing season permits are available on three beats of the River Tay and two beats of the River Almond by additional subscription. Salmon season permit numbers are limited and a waiting list system is in operation for those beats that are over subscribed. The fishing offered is excellent quality and good catches are made.
