Kercock is a salmon fishing beat on the middle River Tay, situated close to the village of Murthly in Perthshire.

It is recognised as one of the productive stretches along this celebrated Scottish river, offering a number of named pools that regularly yield Atlantic salmon throughout the season.

The beat is particularly noted for its autumn fishing, when large cock salmon enter the river. A 45 lb salmon was reportedly landed here during October, illustrating the potential of this stretch for heavyweight fish.

Kercock sits within the middle Tay corridor, where guided fishing operations work the beat with strategies tailored to salmon movement and prevailing water conditions.
