The perfect Way to catch your breath
From deep lochs to famous rivers, from sea fishing to fly
fishing, the Southern Uplands offer an extremely wide variety
of fishing opportunities.
The water is amongst the cleanest in Europe, and therefore
rich in natural fish stock including pike, carp, perch and
roach as well as the salmon and trout for which Scotland is
world famous.
No license is required to fish in Scotland, however, in
most cases permits must be obtained to fish individual rivers
and lochs.
