Fly Fishing venues in Scotland

February 15, 2018 //  by Stewart Collingswood

The best fishing venues near Edinburgh and Glasgow

A list of the best fishing venues near Edinburgh.

To the south of the city you have the Scottish Borders and the River Tweed system. To the North of Edinburgh, the River Tay system and all the tributaries. Scattered all around Edinburgh are a enviable collection of trout lochs. Scotland has an abundance of fishing venues perfect for hosting fishing days, breaks and corporate fishing events.

Fishing rivers and lochs near Edinburgh

A short distance from Edinburgh, there are trout and pike fishing venues that can take up to 60 people. Outdoor catering can be provided at these fishing venues, using gazebos. Groups can be looked after by a team of professional fishing guides in Scotland

Rivers make the perfect fishing venue for smaller groups, as most beats can accommodate up to 6 rods. Some fishing beats can stretch to a 10 rod capacity

When we are approached for fishing venues we suggest up to 10 people a river would be possible, though extra guides are needed to ensure guests are safe when wading. As a general rule of thumb, the following matrix works well for river fishing days:

1 rod = 1 guide

2 rods = 1 guide

3 rods = 2 guides

4 rods = 2 guides

5 rods = 3 guides

We carry out risk assessments when running fishing events. We have the experience to understand where the risks are, highlight them, and avoid accidents.

Our fishing guides in Scotland are trained in First Aid as well as being skilled anglers and focus on safety as well as the enjoyment of the fishing event.

Fishing venues near Glasgow

Located near Glasgow and in Loch Lomond area, we have a trout fishing venue that is ideal for small private luxury fishing events

The event above had four enjoyable event experiences rolled into one: Fly Fishing lessons for beginners, Food Foraging, Wine Tasting and a Gourmet Outdoor Fishing Lunch.

If you are looking to stage an outdoor event, corporate hospitality or an incentive day, the fly fishing can be a unique and rewarding experience for staff or clients. Ultimately it comes down to selecting the best fishing venue for each particular group of clients and this is where we can help.

Contact Us with your requirements and we can shape a proposal which delivers a Memorable Fishing Experience.
