Below are some examples of the other fishing opportunities Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland can offer you, during your visit to Scotland.
The Pike is one of the most ferocious predators, which inhabit Scotland’s waterways. They can be very aggressive and takes can only be described as being “explosive”. There are an abundance of lochs in Scotland where Pike can be caught from. Many of these lochs are set in some of the most stunning locations in the country. Pike up to twenty pounds can be regularly caught.
We are able to offer the choice of either bank or boat fishing for Pike using a variety of methods including fly-fishing, spinning and bait fishing. Fly-fishing for Pike is becoming ever more popular in Scotland amongst anglers and this is mainly because of the aggressive nature of the fish.
Traditionally, the Pike fishing season extends from October through to mid-March. Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland offers guided Pike fishing trips. Our experienced guides will choose the most productive location available, taking weather and water conditions into account, so that you can enjoy some unforgettable sport. The Pike is one of the hardest fighting predators in Scottish waters so why not do battle with it?
The Grayling is not native to Scottish waters but was first introduced to Scotland in the mid-1800s. Grayling is one of the most beautiful and prized game fish of them all. Known as the “lady of the stream” for it’s majestic appearance, the Grayling can be found in many of Scotland’s rivers. Their large and unmistakable dorsal fin makes them a powerful quarry to target. Hard fighting Grayling up to two pounds are regularly caught on the fly rod. On light tackle, this offers anglers some excellent sport.
Many of the rivers in central and southern Scotland have a good head of Grayling. These rivers include the Tay, Tweed, Annan, Clyde and Nith. The prime time for Grayling fishing is between late October and February. A cold, frosty morning often makes for the perfect Grayling fishing conditions. Grayling regularly shoal in large numbers and so once located, the sport can be fast and furious.
Salmon Fishing Holidays Scotland can offer you guided Grayling fishing on some of Scotland’s most prolific streams and rivers, ensuring that you will have a day to remember on the riverbank.
