Stay at the iconic Eastwood House:
A New Chapter for Newtyle
December 2024
Starting in 2025, the iconic Eastwood House becomes part of the Newtyle Fishings experience. Built in 1830, this historic house sits on the banks of the River Tay, offering the unique opportunity to stay just steps from the water and fish right from the garden. Conveniently located at the upper end of the Newtyle Beat, Eastwood House is only a short walk from the charming town of Dunkeld.
A day to remember on the Newtyle
August 2024
Four new salmon anglers celebrated their first-ever catches today. Amelia Takken from Australia kicked things off with a cracking fish from the Boil. Oscar Jowitt followed with a clean grilse from the Steps before lunch. In the afternoon, Patrick Langford landed his first in the Plaintree Pool, and Ed Langford wrapped up the day with a stunning 7lb silver from the Alders. What a fantastic day on the water!
New shelters
June 2024
During the summer two new shelters were build at the Steps and the Trap pools.
Better than usual
April 2024
Early spring fishing in March and April showed better fishing than usual with 17 strong springers landed despite very lightly fished. Regular guest Hans Larsson from Sweden landed this beauty on the fly April 2nd.
Massive flood
October, 2023
October 7th Tay was hit by a massive flood which made fishing impossible for three days. Banks and the old fishing hut were flooded.
After a few days the river cleared up and provided some excellent fishing with five good fish landed the last days – a.o. a beautiful salmon of 20 lbs on the fly from the Steps pool.
After a dry summer
September 2023
After a very dry Summer with warm water and difficult conditions the fishing became better as Autumn started. In September we saw days with high water levels of 6 – 8ft on the gauge.
Despite fishing under these conditions Lars Erik Svendsen took a nice salmon in the end of September on the fly from the Cotter pool.
Some very strong salmon were taken during the early spring of March and April
April 2023
Sparkling fresh ”springers” of a.o. 11, 14, 15, 20 and 22 were taken and many more lost during hard fights. Lynn Meanstopped with landing a magnifinicent salmon of 27lbs from the Plain Trees pool on a guided day with Alba Fishinghttps://albagamefishing.com/our-packages/salmon-river-tay/)– the fish ended to be the biggest of the season.
March on Newtyle
March 2023
Newtyle Beat saw a good run of fresh salmon during March. Despite very lightly fished some seven salmon where landed.
Hasse Larsson from Sweden visited the beat and after having lost two good fish he finally caught a lovely ”springer” at the Steps pool – all on the fly.
Closing up the 2022 season
October 2022
Newtyle had a good end to the season with several strong salmon landed.
Kyle Forbes took a magnificent 20 lbs on the fly from the Boil pool and Tony Hall landed a crocking 22 lbs cock fish from the same pool also on the fly.
The very last day of the season six salmon were landed and several more lost.

Three salmon caught in one hour
April 2022
Regular guest Jon Amos was fishing the Newtyle beat on April 12th. Casting from the boat at the Alders Pool he took three fresh salmon on the fly in less than an hour. The salmon where laying close to the three big stones in the pool. Often salmon are resting here after having passed the heavy current of the Island Stream. The pool/stones can be covered both from the bank and by the boat.
