P.D. Malloch were a famous old-time fishing tackle shop located in Perth, Scotland, which employed professional Scottish model makers who would create exact copies of your trophy fish. Malloch models divided up into 3 categories referred to as the early Malloch maker 1900-1922, the middle Malloch maker 1920s to the early 1930s, and the late Malloch maker from 1934-1952. P.D. Malloch also established the Tay Salmon Fisheries Company in 1899, buying up the fishing rights along the river and estuary and creating one of the biggest operations of its kind. Unfortunately, the company has now ceased trading as of February 2020 after being in business for 149 years.
