TWEED

The Tweed is located in the Southern border of Scotland and is one of the best salmon rivers in Scotland. It is very famous and one of Scotland’s big four salmon rivers. The Tweed fishing season starts already on 1 st of February and there is good spring fishing season from March until the end of May but the main salmon run is from September to October. The fishing on the Tweed is mainly catch and release fishing. The best of back end fishing is from early September to end of October.

FLY FISHING

Our fly fishing group will fish the Nest beat on upper Tweed, close Galashiels. The Nest beat is on the left bank and is approx tvo and half kilometres long, and maximum number of rods is 5. All five rods are booked exclusively for our Fishmaster group. The Nest beat consists of 5 named pools: Rampy Pool, Boat Pool, House Pool, Policeman and Gullets. Only fly fishing is allowed and there are pools suitable for all water levels. Beat is beautiful and easy to wade and cover well with fly. In the middle of the beat there is also a small but comfortable fishing hut. The river averages about 20 yards in width and the pools vary from 5 feet to 7 feet in depth. The Nest beat offers great variety of fishing and is excellent fly water including fast runs and good holding pools.
