Interview With Richard From Perth & District Angling Association | River Tay | May 2024

I recently joined the Perth & District Angling Association for access to various beats on the river Tay. I wasn't sure if I could join because usually it is for local residents only, however once I learned that it is open to all I signed up straight away.
At the time of recording this video I am fishing on the River Tay and as I like to use my channel to help others I thought it would be great to interview Richard, the treasurer of the PDAA about the organisation.
Membership of the PDAA offers me some of the best-value salmon and trout fishing in the country. Beats for 2024 include Stobhall, Benchil, Pitlochrie, Dalguise, Upper Farleyer, and Pitnacree on the River Tay, BRDAA water on the River Ericht, East Haugh on the Tummel and Kinkell Bridge on the River Earn.
I believer there are few clubs that can equal the level of angling provision (approximately 4000 rod days per season) for the annual subscription of just £260.
You can find out more here, and if you decide to join, can you let them know it was because you watched my video (I don't get a commission, it would just be nice to know).

Great Interview Chris 👏👏👏

[@thedoggedangler]

Excellent video, explanation and value. Given the scope and range of waters available it is tremendous value and I have considered this ticket several times.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Hardlinesangling]

Great video Chris gives a real insight into the association. Ill need to have a look at it myself for next year possibly.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Joined the association last year while on holiday. Fantastic value for money and every angler I met were incredibly friendly 👌 looking forward to my visit next year!

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Luggiefrank]

Good to hear Dalguise is on the ticket, I've enjoyed a few days fishing there several years ago. Not sure if Kercock is available, fantastic fishing there.

[@CornishChrisTheFish]

Thanks, I am looking forward to Dalguise too. Don't see Knockando on the list tho
