Fishing in Scotland

With 1600 miles of coastline and thousands of lochs and rivers Scotland is a mecca for fishing.. And you'll find clean, clear water wherever you go

Scotland's reputation as an excellent fishing destination dates back to at least the 19th century, when it became fashionable for wealthy English tourists to come up to Scotland on their holidays for a bit of hunting, shooting and fishing. Scotland really is a world-class fishing destination - and has been for many years now. From salmon fishing on one of the great rivers to trout fishing in stocked ponds, there is something for all levels and budgets. Today, the fishing in Scotland is still world class - but it is no longer the preserve of the wealthy alone.
Although there is plenty of good coarse fishing in Scotland, it is really the fly fishing that attracts most people. There is superb fishing for salmon on
famous rivers like the Tweed, the Tay and the Spey, and then there is the wild brown trout, found in rivers and lochs throughout the country.
If you have never fished before - don't worry! You can get instruction and learn how to fish with an expert guide. And if you want an easy catch, you will find stocked fisheries in many parts of Scotland, offering a (relatively!) easy way to land your first trout. People come from all over the world to fish  in Scotland and enjoy the  historic scenery.
