My first day of fishing with the Perth and District Angling Association (www.pdaa.co.uk) and you find me at Pitnacree & Balnabeggan. An awesome 2 mile stretch of fishing on the Upper Tay near Aberfeldy. I met Ian, an amazing ghillie who showed me the entire beat from top to tail and was a most generous host. This is clearly a 2 day beat, I needed at least 2 days to cover all the water so I plan to return here very soon.
