Salmon Fishing Guide & Spey Casting Intructor in Scotland. |
We are pleased to announce that Jock Monteith has joined "Fishing in Scotland" as our Head Salmon Fishing Guide and Spey casting instructor and he brings with him a wealth of knowledge of Scotland's prime salmon fishing rivers coupled with his superb teaching ability in the classic art of Spey Casting. |
We can provide a comprehensive range of fully guided salmon fishing breaks from a one, two or three day fishing trip to a complete weeks fishing holiday including an expert guide, quality well balanced Speycasting rods, reels and lines and we always carry a comprehensive selection of salmon fishing flies.

We have access to prime salmon fishing beats on the rivers Tay, Spey, Dee and Tweed as well as many other rivers throughout Scotland. In addition we can occasionally access house rods from a number of select beats on each of these rivers. If you prefer to fish some of the smaller rivers we can arrange to have you fishing on one of the dozens of tributaries that flow into the main rivers. When conditions are right the smaller tributaries can produce some great catches in terms of numbers and size of fish. |

|
Our guided salmon fishing trips cater for individuals or groups large and small, from the complete beginner to the seasoned fisherman. We can also arrange for additional guides for larger parties and Corporate Fishing Days. If you join us for several days or more we have the flexibility to arrange different beats or even different rivers to give some variety during your guided salmon fishing break. Primariliy you will be fishing for salmon but we always bring some trout rods with us should we get a hatch of flies and you fancy casting a dry fly to a rising brown trout. We can also arrange to have you or your party picked up from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness airports, railway stations or bus terminals. We will pick you up from your local hotel each morning and take you to the river. |
About Your Guide |
Jock was the Head Ghillie on the Newtyle salmon Beat on the river Tay for over 10 years before deciding to offer his professional services throughout Scotland
He has become one of Scotland's best salmon fishing guides and Speycasting instructors, which is hardly surprising as he learned his craft as a youngster from one of the finest fishing guides on the River Tay, Willie ‘The Ghillie’ Laird. Willie "The Ghillie" was a legend who was highly respected within the salmon fishing fraternity not only in Scotland but by salmon fishing anglers worldwide who came to fish the River Tay.
Willie passed on his wealth of experience to Jock and Jock has become an expert in his craft. He has fished the Tay, Spey, Dee, the Tweed and most other Scottish rivers for over 35 years and has taught hundreds of satified clients the art of Speycasting, many of whom return year after year to fish in Scotland with Jock. |

Jock is not your average fishing guide and whilst he takes his salmon fishing very seriously it is done in a relaxed, friendly manner with an abundance of good humour and banter. You will not only enjoy the fishing on a guided fishing trip with Jock but you will be treated to a wonderful fishing experience that you will remember for all of the right reasons for years to come. Or until your next trip with us. |

TESTIMONIALS |
'Enjoy' can hardly express the wonderful time Taylor and I had. Gordon our guide was superb++++. We spent one day in Edinburgh and regretted we were still not fishing. Taylor says he would quit his job in a second to come back to Scotland. The areas we were taken were perfect, the people we met were terrific and we caught fish. We totally believe this was all because of Gordon: he was professional yet patient and friendly. His sense of humor was greatly enjoyed. Thank you so much for this incredible experience -- one we will remember all our lives. When and if possible, I will certainly recommend you for fishing in Scotland - I know two families who have vacationed in Scotland and keep singing your praises. Nora Poole, Denver Colorado.
First of all may I say a massive thank you to you and Jock Monteith for a Fantastic day on the Tay, even though I did not catch I am still captivated by the beauty of this magnificent river and the surroundings. The day surpassed everything I had thought of since booking the trip, the offer to come back next day was overwhelming and I wish I had done it now. The day I return to fish can not come quick enough, you guy's should be so proud of yourselves in offering this first class service and facilities, even the wife enjoyed it and she did not fish.
From the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped off we were treated like royalty. A TRULY AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Thanks again. Ken and Angela.
Just a wee note to say thank you very much for a great day fishing on the Spey last Thursday. Your teaching was the best and I feel so much more confident. Hope your day on the Dee went well. I went to Woodend on the Dee on Saturday. Great day and bonny spot but no luck with the fish! Hope you have a successful season and many thanks again. All the best, Robert.
You guys were not kidding when you said you offer the very best in salmon fishing. A first class guide and a truly exceptional river. We will be back next year. Thank you and best wishes Desmond.
Many thanks for a most enjoyable first day salmon fishing last Friday. Jamie couldn't stop talking about it, & we had a late-night discussion on the finer points of Spey casting! I felt you ran the day at just the right pitch. A bit of instruction, then left us alone for a while to get on with it. I think it was lucky we weren't up there this week, the weather sounds atrocious. Best wishes Nick.
Thanks again for all your help with the Spey casting and dropping us off at the hotel.We really enjoyed our time on the river.It's a special place. Best wishes Dave and Ian.
Thank you very much for such a great day yesterday. It was lovely to meet you and great fun especially when I caught the trout. I look forward to doing it again sometime. Best wishes Anne
Thanks for the fishing trip of a lifetime. I thoroughly enjoyed the tuition from a master of his craft, firm but always patient. To catch this exquisite salmon was breathtaking, a life changing experience, I'm back home now but my heart remains on the Ash Trees Pool. Many thanks, regards Steve |
