I keep on getting asked where is the best place to go fishing for salmon in Scotland without breaking the bank. The River Tweed and other better known rivers can run to many hundreds of pounds per day for some of the famous beats. There are many lesser known rivers that offer great value and just as much fun, if not greater opportunity of catching fish. Some of these rivers have greater salmon return rates than the more famous rivers and cost only £25 to £60 a rod per day. The fishing season in Scotland starts very early in February on many of the rivers. Some even start in January. March is the start of the main salmon runs but you should remember that most fish are caught in summer and Autumn/Fall
