Fishing
Fly Fishing, Coarse Fishing, Sea Fishing, whatever your preference, South West Scotland's coastline offers numerous river, loch and sea fishing opportunities.
River Fishing
Ballantrae sits at the mouth of the River Stinchar, one of the most
famous salmon rivers on the west coast of Scotland. Salmon and Sea Trout
fishing is available on the river in season, though the best fishing is
later in the year during September and October.

The other main rivers in Ayrshire are the River Girvan and the River
Doon. There is also some fine fishing on the rivers in Dumfries and
Galloway, like the Luce and the Bladnoch.

Sea Fishing
From the shoreline or from a boat, Sea Angling is relatively free from
restriction or cost, except for the normal rules of conduct and the hire of
the boat.

Local
Clubs
Naturally for the protection of the environment and fish stock, most
inland waters are controlled by local clubs or associations and therefore
permit fees to be paid and rules to be complied with.
