River Tay Ghost Ghillie !!

Whilst I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this mysterious grey figure appearing beside this lone fisher on the Tay it still slightly concerned me when I saw the picture. Could it be the spirit of one of the old Kinnaird beat ghillies appearing to give a helping hand !!??

Here's the Guay Pool this afternoon on the Kinnaird Beat of the Tay. Heavy rain is still falling and the river is rising steadily although running clear.

The Boat Pool Glendelvine Beat River Tay

Here's the famous Boat Pool on the Glendelvine Beat of the Tay. If you click to enlarge this shot you should be able to see the 'Bargie Stane' upstream on the left hand side. There's a deep little trough in the riverbed just above this stone where Georgina Ballantyne hooked the British rod caught record salmon of 64 lbs in October of 1922. Nearly 100 years later this deep trough is still present above the stone and is an excellent salmon lie for those who have worked out how to cover it effectively.
