The Rivers
Hundreds of rivers hold trout, generally the fast flowing spate rivers hold lots of small
fish but there are significant exceptions like the Tay, Tweed, Tummel, Ericht, Earn and
Aberdeenshire Don where pound plus wild trout are taken every season.
If you drive up the M74 around Abington you will see the river Clyde, a superb trout river
both for wet and dry fly. You can get a day ticket from Abington Services.
Trout river fishing in Scotland is relatively inexpensive and trout fishing access even
on some of the best Salmon beats can be obtained if permission is sought politely.
Keep in mind many of the rivers have Protection orders so permission must be obtained before starting to fish.
Read how excessive water abstraction has destroyed the ecology of Perthshire's River Garry, and how you can help to restore it to its former glory!

The Lochs
Thousand of lochs all over Scotland hold wild brown trout but some of the best might
involve a wee walk. Ask in any pub or hotel, someone will help or put you in touch as
to the best fishing in the area. Some you might need a boat and local knowledge and
on many you will not see another soul for all the time you are there.
The Stillwaters
Still water fishing for rainbows and browns has developed here in Scotland just like
other parts of U.K. the monthly fishing magazines will be a good place to start but
the Scottish and Area Tourist boards publish excellent guides to all types of game
and course fishing. Some web sites you could visit:-
