Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing on the River Annan
Given water, the Annan
can have runs of salmon and grilse from June onwards but the later
months of September, October and November produce most of the annual
salmon catch, which can be in the region of 800 fish. The Annan is also
one of the best sea trout rivers in the south of Scotland, with catches
of around 1500 in a good year, although, in common with other Solway
rivers, the Annan has seen a worrying decline in sea trout stocks in the
last few years. A range of fishing is available, including estate, hotel
and club waters. The Upper Annandale Angling Association has some ten
miles of good water on the river between Moffat and Lockerbie, which is
available to the visiting angler and there is an excellent stretch at
Hoddom Castle, available at reasonable cost, to name only two of the
many beats available to the visitor. For more information on salmon and
sea trout fishing on the River Annan, see

Please
note that these maps may date back several
decades. Much of the human detail will have
changed but the character of the rivers and
lochs, and the trout and salmon in them,
will be much the same as they have always
been.
In
addition to the information provided here, I
would recommend that anyone planning a
fishing or walking trip in Scotland should
equip themselves with a compass and the
appropriate Ordnance Survey map. The most
useful of the O.S. maps for the fisherman is
the Landranger series, scale 1:50,000. For
each of the lochs and rivers listed here, I
have given the relevant O.S. Map number. See
