With easy access to the upper River Tay, Loch Tay, River Lyon and hill lochs there must be few areas with so much fishing to offer. From the start of the salmon season on 15 January, anglers enjoy the majesty of Loch Tay and its surrounding mountains. Trout fishing in the rivers is first class and roach and pike abound in Loch Tay. There are good shoals of grayling to keep the winter angler amused around Aberfeldy.
