Hi everyone,

For a Christmas present I wanted to offer one of my sons a fishing week in Scotland. I am looking at B&B/hotel or something similar for both of us  , and I will need to sort out someone local that knows the right spot and can assist us,as we are newbies. I would prefer to find someone here at TAS. Then I can meet some of you. 

Any ideas ? If any of you can offer a package for us, please email me at   ashley@scarlet.be

Many thanks Kevin

Loads of fishing here in Clackmannanshire!! My son in law came here fishing but did not get too much, some fish on the Forth but there are many other places, Gartmorn Dam, and loads of other places!!

Great idea!  But that's a pretty open ended question! Firstly what sort of place do you want to fish? (Sea / coast / lochs / rivers?)  What kind of fish do you want to catch (trout / salmon / coarse / seafish), and how do you want to catch them? (worm / spinner / fly / dynamite  ).

If you know the answers to the questions above, I'm sure I can recommend somewhere good to go. Equally if you can't yet answer the questions above, that is quite informative in itself, and might give some pointers too!!

You'll be lucky.  We keep that treasure for ourselves


Only joking!  I think it can be pretty expensive to fish salmon though.

You "sometimes" get Salmon in the Forth but Brown Trout is just as good, lot's of that up here BUT a friend told us it has been in short suply this year..look on the link on my wesite   www.tower-house.co.uk

My mate at work rates the Tay for Salmon. He also goes up to Ballater.
He also agreed that this season so far has been disappointing.
I live on the Isla with is very beautiful and cheap to buy a fishing permit for but the tree canopy around here is overgrown and an inconvenience for casting. Would be happy to offer a cup of tea if you ended up this way though - might manage a piece of cake too!!!!!!!!!

Russ, we share many things in common, age, same locations same time ( southall ) but the thought of a tin of fish and a DVD is not for me. Keep on like that and I am going to drive up to your patch of wales and put something up you kilt or whatever you wear there...

AND I will try and find some of those folk that broke your panes of glass and drive them to your place....so there

Oh errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Why not try The Fairy Lochs if you want a bit of trout fishing. Beautiful scenery and one of the lochs is a desigated war grave, a bit emotional when you go there but well worth seeing. You can stay at the Sheildaigh Hotel or rent one of the cottages. we took Keepers Cottage and although very basic you can walk out from there to the lochs and once you are up in the hills it is only a short walk between lochs. my husband and I spent a couple of days up there 2 years ago and it was amazing! Will try and post links! Also the Badachro Inn is amazing for food and a drink. http://www.nafirchlis.co.uk/fairy.htmhttp://www.shieldaiglodge.com/english/shieldaig_cottages.html
