Has Become So Popular

Outdoor Activities > Fishing In Scotland



Fly fishing in Scotland is conducted in beautiful and peaceful surroundings.

Fishing In Scotland
Prices can vary from region to region, for example, Dumfries and the Scottish Borders is inexpensive in comparison to the River Spey, River Tay and River Tweed. Within each region is a complete guide to tackle shops, angling associations and a where to stay listing of hotels or accommodation in that area.

Normal methods of angling include fly fishing and spinning, with bait fishing permitted at certain times of the season. Bait can be worms, maggots or dead bait, but live course fish bait is not permitted. For your next fishing in Scotland holiday or even a day out, the Scottish Highlands is good value, with a permit rarely costing more than a fiver and what an angling experience you get in return.

Although there is plenty of good coarse fishing here, it is really the fly fishing that attracts most people. If you’re looking for the wonders of river, loch and sea fishing in Scotland then look no further.

 Fishing in Scotland on the west coast you will find  hundreds of small spate rivers, streams and lochs,  while in the east you find the classic salmon rivers
 of the Tay, Tweed, Dee and Spey.

 Further north is Caithness and Sutherland which is a  patchwork quilt of lochs streams and rivers. In the central belt around Glasgow and Edinburgh you will find some good put and take fisheries as well as lochs, and even the local rivers like the Clyde offer good sport these days.

If you are after salmon or sea trout you should check carefully with the local venue as running times and seasons vary considerably, but you can be assured that somewhere in the country there is good sport available at almost any time of year. With such a variety of rivers to choose from the seasons and "best times" vary over the length and breadth of the land.

Fly Fishing Guides

Fly fishing in Scotland has grown in popularity over the years and is now almost an obsession for keen fishermen and women. When looking for a guide to fly fishing, ideally you want one that covers both the basics and advanced techniques. It has been argued that there is no one way to fly fish right or wrong. Certainly it takes practice and persistence, but when you take up this sport you will find recreational and therapeutic values. Fly fishing is not complicated, but you'll become a better angler if you have expert guidance along the way. Finding a guide is a huge undertaking and there are lots of informational books and websites offering help.

Shop for Pack Rods In the sport of fly fishing, the word “guide” can mean either a printed guide to teach you how to fly fish, or a personal guide to show you the best places to fish. A good personal guide for fly fishing is one that will teach you basic casting, how to pick a fly rod, and where to look for the best fish. A good guide will teach you rather than lead you, and when you have learned how to do things, you will become a better sports person.

When hiring fly fishing guides, there are some things you need to consider. Their qualifications, what type of experience do they have on those particular waters? How familiar are they with the area? Are they able to offer you tips and tricks on how to find the biggest fish?

Many lodges will offer up the services of fishing guides when you book a cabin or vacation with them. These guides are valuable resources when you are on a fly fishing trip. They are included in the price of your stay, and they often know certain nuances of the area that no one else does.
It's advisable to take advantage of such a guide if offered by your lodge.

A printed guide to fly fishing will offer you information about even the most basic of techniques. They can also guide you towards some of the best destinations to make any fishing trip a success.

Whether looking for a personal fishing guide or a printed fishing guide, consider your options before buying or booking. Fly fishing guides can be the difference between a good trip and a great fishing in Scotland trip.
