Fishing Clubs and Associations in Scotland
|
Throughout Scotland there are many fishing clubs and angling
associations which have been established by local anglers to manage the
fishing on local lochs and rivers for the benefit of both club members
and visiting anglers. |
|
|
|
These associations are instrumental in the
conservation, maintenance and improvement of the fishing on the waters
under their control and in making the fishing available to both local
and visiting fishermen.
Here you will find details of Scottish angling clubs and associations,
including information about rivers and lochs available to visiting
fishermen through membership subscription or through the purchase of day
or weekly permits. I invite members or secretaries of Scottish fishing
clubs and associations to send relevant details to me by
e-mail
of your club and your fishing for inclusion on this page. See the panel
to the right for details. |

Jedforest Angling Association
 J.A.A.
offer all anglers the opportunity to fish beautiful stretches of
the River Teviot near the historic town of Jedburgh in the
Scottish Borders. Around 5 miles of the River Teviot, one of the
major tributaries of the famous River Tweed, is available for
salmon, sea-trout, brown trout and grayling angling.
The association offers excellent fishing all year
round. The River Teviot has good early season salmon runs with
occasional fish into double figures. Grilse can be taken in the
summer months. However it is the autumn runs which provide the
best returns with fish in excess of 20 pounds. Grayling are
particularly abundant on the Teviot and provide excellent sport
throughout the autumn and winter months. Fish well in excess of
3 pounds are regularly taken and
stories of "monsters" are common amongst the regular visitors
who frequent the water. For those preferring the more gentle art
of fly fishing the Teviot is well renowned for its wild brown
trout with a good variation of streams and pools for wet and dry
fishing
For trout & grayling permits call Shaws Newsagent
(01835 863245) or Sanfords Country Sports shop (01835 863019).
Both in the Canongate in Jedburgh.
For Salmon & sea-trout permits call Club
Secretary Jim Oliver on 01835 863239.

Fochabers Angling Association
The Association has 1.3
miles of double bank fishing on the lower River Spey, about four
miles from the sea. The association water is generally lightly
fished by the 40 local members. Four visitor tickets are allowed
per day. We have the fishing from opening day on 11th February
until 10th August each year. The average size of spring salmon
is around 8 or 9 lbs, but there have been a number of
considerably bigger fish taken in recent years, since the nets
came off. The grilse start to arrive in June and are usually in
the 4 to 5lbs range. Sea trout start to arrive in ever
increasing numbers from late April onwards.
