Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing on the River Nith
Scotland
O. S. Map 71, 78, 84
The Nith is the largest of the Solway rivers. It
is arguably the most productive and varied of the rivers and offers
excellent salmon and sea trout sport for anglers of all abilities
and experience. Much of the fishing is available to visiting anglers
on a day or weekly basis on association water and hotel and estate
beats.
The Nith has some
excellent sea trout fishing, with a good year now producing around 2000
sea trout, although there has been a worrying decline in sea trout
catches in recent seasons. The Nith can also produce in excess of 2000
salmon, with the season, as on the Tweed, running to the end of
November. A variety of salmon and sea trout fishing is available to the
visiting angler on day, weekly and season tickets on Estate beats such
as Drumlanrig Castle, Barjarg, Blackwood and Dalswinton; Association
beats like the Upper Nithsdale Angling Association at Sanquhar, the
former Mid
Nithsdale Angling Association water at Thornhill (now administered by
Drumlanrig Estate) and Dumfries and Galloway
Angling Association at Carnsalloch, near Dumfries; Hotel water such as
Friars Carse; and Burgh Fishing at Dumfries.
