Salmon catches on the River Tay are the best in a decade, after a strong run of fish during the summer.
The season closed on Tuesday with an estimated increase in landings of around 40% on last year.
It comes after years of decline, as the Atlantic salmon faces challenges from climate change, predation and pollution.
The Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board (TDSFB) say around 6,000 fish were rod-caught between mid-January and October.
