The River Tweed has always been internationally famous for its salmon fishing, with people coming from all over the world to fish it.

After recent record breaking years, it also now ranks among the very top salmon rivers in the world. 2010 saw a poor spring but more records being broken during the autumn.

Other fishing in the Borders

Tweed may be most famous for its salmon fishing, but it also has an excellent run of sea trout both in the summer and the autumn with some large specimens being taken.

In addition it has some excellent wild trout fishing and some good quality winter grayling fishing.
