Trout Fishing in the South of Scotland
Maps and Information on Trout Fishing Lochs and Rivers in Southern Scotland
The south of Scotland, which I have defined, for our purposes, as the area to the south of the Firth of Clyde and Firth of Forth (and to the south of the Forth & Clyde Canal), is perhaps better known for its grand salmon and sea trout rivers, the majestic River Tweed; the Ayrshire rivers Doon, Ayr and Stinchar; or the rivers of the Solway Firth – Border Esk, Annan, Nith and Cree. Nevertheless, the south of Scotland has some hidden trout fishing gems. As well as the excellent trout and grayling fishing in the rivers Clyde, Nith, Annan, Tweed and Teviot and many smaller streams, there is some fine loch fishing to be found in the Pentland Hills and the hills of Renfrewshire, Ayrshire and Galloway.
Detailed maps of specific Scottish trout fishing areas can be accessed from the drop-down menus at the top of this website.
Further information, photographs etc. for each area can be viewed at www.trout-salmon-fishing.com (suitable for viewing on larger screens such as desktops). Below is a list of links to the relevant pages for the trout fishing centres in southern Scotland, with the focus on loch fishing.
