Scotland has been favoured with so much good trout fly fishing whether you find yourself fishing on the many thousands of Highland lochs containing tenacious trout or the many rivers. You will find that wild natural fishing abounds in Scotland, from the fertile rivers of the southern and central regions of Scotland to the craggy fast flowing streams of the Highlands. I building this directory I have found the trout of over thirty pounds have been taken recently from Loch Awe while the limestone lochs of Caithness and Durness produce prodigious bags of fit fighting fish. There is off course the river Don in Aberdeenshire which has to be one of the best trout rivers any where, with high single figure trout taken on the dry fly and nymph every year.

Not all of the fish are like the 3lb Don trout pictured to the left, you will find that wild trout fishing is not like that, many cracking fishing places to to go trout fishing will give you a memorable day catching fish that can run to 4 to the pound.
