Guided Salmon Fishing Trip

Scotland is famous for the majestic Atlantic salmon and fly fishing for salmon in Scotland is on the bucket list of many. We offer guided salmon fishing trips in Scotland on a range of different rivers and locations, however the river Tay, Tweed and Spey are certainly three of the most famous rivers, when it comes to a salmon fishing in Scotland.

It will be of no surprise Spey casting, the double handed casting technique, takes its name from one of these rivers.  These mysterious fish don’t eat in returning back to fresh water, therefore there are numerous theories as to why a salmon would ever take a fly. The truth is, no one knows for sure, however when they do, you should be prepared for some reel screaming action from these hard fighting fish. The challenge, the fight and the fish themselves, is what keeps anglers hankering for more. If a guided salmon fishing holiday in Scotland sounds like an experience for you, enquire now and we can tailor your trip to suit.

The typical Salmon fishing season in Scotland is early February to 31st October. However there are some rivers that start earlier than this and others finishing later. Just to note there is a rule in Scotland which doesn’t allow fishing for salmon or sea trout on a Sunday. (fisheries management scotland)
