Scotland

Hoddom Castle, South West Scotland

Having lived for many years in the Scottish borders I have retained a few connections to accessible good quality fishing. The Salmon and Sea trout fishing on the Annan can be world class as it can in many of the Dumfries and Galloway rivers. Local knowledge is everything and in anything but flood or drought there are places to fish. Not religiously sticking to the same piece of water but going to the spots you would fish if you lived there. A great place to learn to fish for Salmon and sea trout in one of Scotland's most scenic areas. A great environment for learning to fish for our migratory species for anglers of any level of experience with no pressures or targets... The Annan is also home to some very big Grayling and Trout and well worth a visit for those species.
