If you're booking salmon fishing in Scotland and want to truly 'cut to the chase' for not only obtaining the best professional advice on where, when and why to fish a particular salmon beat but also receive a few valuable salmon lie insights before you even arrive at the river then look no further.

The Best Chance Of Fishing Success

Preparation in salmon fishing to align yourself with success or a very strong possibility of it extends much further than blindly buying a salmon ticket and turning up at a venue with or without the correct equipment and fly selections and no clue as to where your best chances of sub surface cooperation are to be located.

Choose Your Fishing Agent Wisely

Dealing with an agent who eats, sleeps and breathes this business who as importantly has professionally 'walked the walk' on the riverbanks of Scotland will logically give you a colossal fishing day advantage.

Salmon Fishing Advice

This fantastic fly pool at the mouth of the River Tummel is an absolute 'topper' during April & May while the River Tummel salmon run is in full swing for obvious reasons.
