Where Is The River Tummel
The River Tummel is a famous tributary river of the River Tay and flows down past Pitlochry and enters the Tay near the village of Ballinluig. This little Scottish river is renowned as a Spring run salmon river and is best targeted from late March to mid June when this prised run of Spring salmon are always present each year. River Tummel Spring salmon are in a physical class of their own and have thick deep set proportions as displayed in these accompanying Tummel salmon photographs.
What Size of river is the Tummel
The Tummel being a smaller river than the Tay can be adequately covered with a 13ft or 14ft double handed fly rod although15ft rods are often used by those who understand the benefit a longer fly rod gives for controlling the speed of a salmon fly at range. These days tackle manufacturers seem more concerned with the latest fad tackle 'systems' as they are now referred to rather than good old logic based salmon 'fishing' requirements.
