Centred around the village of Stanley, we are able to offer a variety of fishing on these four prestigious beats which extend over two and a half miles of the Lower River Tay.

Spring Fishing (Jan-April).
Catholes and Pitlochrie - 6 rods from £425 per week.
Luncarty and Benchil - 4-6 rods on a syndicated basis.
One named day per week (14-15 days) from £550 (Luncarty 4 rods) £900 (Benchil 6 rods).   

In the spring months, Catholes and Pitlochrie beats are combined to provide alternate days double bank fishing for up to 6 rods. Over a week, tenants will have three days fishing on each beat, with boat and 2 ghillies included in the rent. The only major temperature barrier on the river lies just upstream of these two beats.As a result they provide some of the most consistent spring fishing on the whole Tay system.

Luncarty and Benchil are let on a syndicated basis for up to 4 and 6 rods respectively allowing each party exclusive fishing on one named day each week from opening day until late April, providing 14 or 15 days fishing to each syndicate.

Autumn Fishing (Aug-Oct)
Pitlochrie and Benchil - 6 rods from £1,000 per week.
Catholes and Luncarty - 4 rods from £350 per week.

From August to the end of the season on 15th October, Pitlochrie and Benchil beats are combined to provide alternate day double bank fishing for up to 6 rods. Tenants will have three days fishing on each beat, with boat and ghillie included in the rent. These are prolific autumn beats and provide some of the best fishing the Tay has to offer at this time of year.
