Hi,

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I have noticed most people fish the upper stretches here. I was wondering if anyone fishes the mid-clyde. I usually go down bothwell as its close to my house, but I have a car and can travel along this section. I am not going back up Blantyre way as its like Sauchiehall street.

Any hints where to go for some fishing? The biggest I have caught on the fly rod has been a 7inch brown trout. There must be bigger in there.

I mostly have been using nymphs.

cheers

Hi Graeme. A few of the guys on here fish the clyde, there is normally a report in the river section. IBM9, aka Brian fishes the clyde ask him for some advice.

Hi Graeme,
Fish the Mid Clyde mostly down at the Hoover in Cambuslang altho as I fly fish mostly you're pretty restricted by the jungle that grows there every year. Also been fishing the Avon this year and really enjoyed it. Check out here • Index page as we cover
the Clyde and its tribs.

I have heard the avon is good from another guy. Much is the years permit there? Are there a lot of good places to fish or is it just a couple of streches?

I know what you mean about the bushes. Also as soon as the water rises above 0.85-0.9m at daldowie you know you near enough cant go in. I only wish sepa would update there data around tea time as 6am is not really useful.

I have registered on the link you have sent, ill keep up to date with that also,

cheers

Link for AAC Avon Home Page and Upper Avon Upper Avon Angling Association | Fishing in Scotland good value for money. Plenty of stretches to fish and hardly any giant bushes

I know they will only show the best pictures but the avon website looks cracking. The upper avon looks like small burns, so it might annoy me.

I am defo going to get a permit for the avon next year. I stay 13.5 miles away from strathaven so i qualify as a local by 1.5miles

cheers for the links.

Hi Graeme, re the upper avon, Ive been fishing it this year and its got some cracking stretches on it, well worth the tenner for a season ticket
Cheers, Sam
