Fishing

Superb salmon fishing in the local rivers

Salmon Angling in the River Nith has one of the longest seasons in Scotland, opening on February 25th and closing on November 30th. It is, however, usually April or May before there is a decent chance of catching one. Prolonged dry spells can mean very low water but a small spate in July or August makes excellent sport. There are usually large numbers of salmon in late September and, in October and November, larger fish are on their way upstream. The river is well known for fresh, silver back-end fish. Sea trout are present in substantial numbers from around the start of May and it is usually possible to catch them in June and July and even in August.

Local fishing permits can be arranged.
