Fishing on the River Tweed

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

After a record breaking year in 2010 and another good year in 2011, it also now ranks among the very top salmon rivers in the world.

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.
