Fishing Finder Directory for Angling Clubs, Associations and Town Waters in Scotland
Please note: the information displayed is gathered from a number of sources to save you time browsing the net, the information and prices are indicative of what was available when we searched for data. Please confirm details with the fishery before booking as Spinfish does not accept any liability for variations and changes to terms and conditions relating to any fishery listed.
We are fortunate
that there are so many angling clubs in Scotland offering fishing at
decent prices on some of the better know waters in the
country and in some instances offering the only access that Joe
Punter can afford.
So many clubs do stalwart work improving their waters whether it be
removing barriers to migratory fish, monitoring and pursuing
polluters, consolidating banks and enhancing redds. Of equal
importance clubs bring young people into the sport as well as making
fishing accessible to the less able of body. Many clubs depend on
additional income from visiting anglers and any profits from visitor
tickets sales serve to fund the improvements to the fishing. If you
do not mind a bit of company on a beat you can find some fantastic
fishing; over 500 salmon in 2006 on the Grantown water, 1000 of the
Nairn club water, a 10lb 2oz brownie of the Huntly Town water and
magical fishing on the clear waters of the Caithness limestone loch
are just a are just a sample of what is on offer. Go on, support our
clubs and enjoy a fishing bargain too.
If your club would like a listing here please contact me with details, its free!
