The Perthshire Garry — distinct from its more famous namesake in the Great Glen — drains the high country around Blair Atholl and joins the Tummel at Pitlochry. It is a hydro-affected river, heavily regulated by the Tummel-Garry scheme, and that regulation has changed its character from the free spate river it once was. In recent years, water releases from Loch Garry have been carefully managed to restore some of the salmon runs that the hydro-era decline took away, and the Garry has quietly become one of the more interesting small salmon rivers in Perthshire again. The famous Falls of Garry at Killiecrankie are a landmark the fish must negotiate on their way up. Brown trout fishing is respectable throughout, and the short distance from the Killiecrankie beats to the confluence with the Tummel is walked and fished by anyone staying in Pitlochry with a rod. Managed largely by Pitlochry Angling Club and estate beats. A curiosity of a river — half engineered, half wild, and worth a day when you are in the area. Atlantic salmon stocks are Category 3 (declining) — all salmon must be released under Scottish Government conservation guidelines.
