The River Shee, as the headwaters of the River Ericht
is known, is a very important spawning area for spring
salmon. Concerns had been expressed within the area
that increasing popularity of fishing in this area might
put undue pressure on spring salmon spawning stocks.
In 2002 the fishing rights on a two mile section of
the River Shee came up for sale. This section had never
previously been fished. The Tay District Salmon Fisheries
Board managed to purchase the rights to maintain it
as a sanctuary area which would not be fished. The Tay
Foundation contributed to this valuable initiative.
