Guided Salmon and Trout fly Fishing Trips in Scotland

3 day and 6 day guided fishing holidays and vacations
on the River Tay, River Spey and the River Tweed.

Outlined below is a typical 3 day salmon fishing holiday just to give you a flavour of what
we have to offer. one day salmon fishing trips with a Ghillie (Guide) are also available.

Day One- Group sizes can vary but are usually between two and six fishermen. Around 8am your guide will meet you at a pre-arranged pick-up point. (Edinburgh Hotel, Rail Station or the Airport.) Your guide will then drive you to the first fishing venue. This would normally be on the rivers Tay, Spey or the Tweed depending on the water levels and which river is fishing the best at that time.

While spinning is very popular and sometimes necessary, our speciality is fly fishing so let us teach you a few different casting styles including the famous Spey casting and roll casting. Remember your guide is an expert and has a wealth of local knowledge so please feel free to use him to his full extent for tuition, hints or guidance. Our guides will be only too happy to assist in any way they can.

On arrival at the river, we will set up your rods and select which flies to use. Your first day's fishing begins. Packed lunches are provided for you each day, and your first day's fishing generally ends late afternoon, your accommodation, a hot shower and an evening meal is only a short drive away.

Day Two...

After a good hearty breakfast, we set off for your second days fishing. You should be familiar with the part of the river we are fishing now and the experienced fisherman can look forward to a full day fishing.

For those requiring tuition, you will have ample time to practice what you have been taught the day before. We will always be close on hand to further your tuition or to assist in landing and releasing any fish that are caught. At lunchtime we have a bite to eat and refreshments by the river. We usually rotate in the afternnoon to give everyone the chance of fishing a different pool or different stretch of the river.

All of the beats have their own unique charm and beauty and most of them can easily be fished from the bank although waders are advisable. The River Spey Nr Aviemore is our most popular venue in the summer.

The River Spey runs through the Cairngorms Mountains and is used by the world famous Speyside Distilleries. The pools here are rich and varied and the scenery is spectacular. Try Fishing the fast boulder fly pools for salmon or cast a line over the slow moving streams for a wild brown trout.

Generally our fishing day starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm. However, if you want to be up with the lark or fish a bit later in the evening it can be arranged. Have a word with your ghillie the day before.

Day Three...

The last day and your last chance to catch the one that keeps getting away. You will normally be on the same river as the day before and to give you as much time as possible on the river, we will put your cases in the car in the morning, ready for your mid-afternoon departure.

We will have you back in Edinburgh or your departure point at around 6 pm, hopefully with lots of stories to tell of the fish you landed and the ones that got away but certainly with some great memories.

Our six day fishing holidays are run along similar lines. Most of our trips depart from Edinburgh but we can arrange to have you picked up and returned to any major airport in Scotland or if you are part of an organised tour with friends or family and have a few days we can also arrange to pick you up from your hotel or bed and breakfast.

Our 3 day fishing holidays start from as little as £560 per person and our 6 day fishing holidays start from as little as £860 per person. Our fishing trips are fully inclusive of airport and hotel pick ups, private transportation, En-suite accommodaton with breakfast and evening meals, picnic lunches by the river, all of the tackle required including quality rods, reels and lines and professional tuition if required from single handed rod fishing to double handed rod fishing including Spey and Roll casting
