Guided Salmon Fishing In Scotland
We at Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland have been fortunate enough to gather a wealth of experience and provide you with a world-class guiding team. If you are an angler that is new to the sport or you just require some tips on how to fine-tune your technique, having a good fishing guide can be priceless.
Your Scottish fishing guide will accompany you on your day’s fishing, providing you with that unique personal one to one service. Throughout the day, he will give you expert advice on what tackle to use, pointing out the best salmon or trout fishing lies, as well as giving any help needed with fishing technique and fly casting. When you hook that salmon or trout of a lifetime, your guide will be at hand to advise you during the long and exciting fight, ensuring that you have the best chance of landing that unforgettable fish. Our guided service caters for anglers that are new to the sport, who have never held a fishing rod in their life, through to the more accomplished anglers, who are looking for some key local knowledge, which can often be the difference between success and failure.
Many of our guiding team are based close to the rivers that you will be fishing on and so have an intimate knowledge of the water. Their knowledge and expertise can be key in helping you get the most from your Scottish salmon fishing experience. We at Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland are proud to have such an experienced guiding team and when it comes to guided fishing, their passion, knowledge and enthusiasm is unrivalled.

What Our Clients Say
What Our Clients Say About Us
Thank you for arranging the big 4in4 challenge for myself and my father. We both had a fantastic time fishing on the four most famous rivers in Scotland. We could not fault the organisation of our trip. From the initial contact right through to the end of our holiday, your company has been a pleasure to deal with. The scenery was magnificent, accommodation was top-notch, the fishing venues superb and our guide David… well we have made a new friend and to top it off, we have now both caught salmon in Scotland. We would highly recommend your services.
Mr Jordon
Big '4in4' challenge
I just wanted to thank you for the amazing couple of days you put together for us at short notice on the River Tay. The whole family enjoyed their experience. The guides were all professional and the lunches were just amazing. My mother commented that it was the best food she had eaten since being in Scotland. My brother and I will definitely be returning in 2024.
Mr Addis
Amazing couple of days!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team. We had a fantastic week in Scotland and my husband Neil thoroughly enjoyed his few days salmon fishing on the River Tay. The accommodation was outstanding and the service that you and your company deliver was both professional and personal throughout. We hope to return in the not too distant future.

We had such a fantastic time in Perthshire we just had to extend by a few days!
From Edinburgh to the Highlands of Scotland and the west coast you put together an amazing holiday for us and our hats go off to you. From the hotels to the ghillies every aspect of our holiday was taken care of and was hassle free. We can't recommend your company enough and will be speaking highly of you to our friends in the USA.
Mrs & Mr Counighan
Scottish Adventure
I don't know how to thank you enough for organising such a fantastic week on the River Dee. The lodge and food were excellent. The ghillie although a dry old bugger, was a gentleman and we finally managed to catch our first Scottish springers. We can not wait to return next year.
John Edwards
A Great Week On the River Dee
I will never forget everything you've done! Thank you so so much - it has been a total pleasure to work with you on this special trip.
Catherine Gurner
Totally Perfect!!!
I just wanted to let you know that we have finished our holiday in Scotland, driving back as we speak. Our stay at the Alness was as beautiful as you said it would be and gave us a real understanding of this lovely highland river. The service we got from the gillie was exceptional the accommodation completely wonderful and we can't thank you enough for that ... The Thurso was full of fish the stay and level of service we had was exceptional. We had one pre breakfast salmon from the bridge pool, and during heavy rain in the last few hours on our last day, we caught a 15lb cock salmon on upper fence pool beat 2 which was the icing on the cake. With our highest regards.
David Priestley
Excellent Service
I should have written before now to say that although we had low water and no fish I enjoyed my visit to the Alness very much. A lovely setting and an entertaining and educative day with Peter. A lovely present from the kids.
Hugh Ross
Lovely Day
I just wanted to say how much of a wonderful time we all had on the River with the two David’s last weekend. It was absolutely magical and the David’s were so accommodating and helpful, my father was so so happy and that’s all we wanted. Thank you again for all your hard work. We have recommended you to all our fishing friends.
