Fishing in the Tweed

Scottish salmon are world-famous and you can have a go at catching one on the Tweed, whether you are an experienced angler or a total beginner. Salmon fishing is an active sport so don't imagine you can doze off by the river – you have to track their movements along the river and even wade in to get closer. They can be real monsters too, and a real challenge to land. Myriad local guides and companies organise angling trips, and if you catch a whopping one, many hotels will cook them up for you for dinner.
