hi folks
i'm visiting this area at the weekend and was wondering if there is any fishing to be had on the above waters?
If so how/where do i get tickets/permits and is fishing on a sunday allowed
any help or information on the subject would be most helpful
thanks

look at this link,
River Cairn Cluden Water Fishings in Dumfries and Galloway Scotland
also river nith links on same site.

I fished the cairn for years, its an excellent salmon water but it does need a bit of water on it, the first run of salmon usually start June July but there has to be spates, sept Oct are the best, the sea trout run has been poor, most run the Nith, the Cairn is stocked with broonies in Early May, but these appear to be fished out pretty quick.
walking the river used be a lot better, but now its overgrown and can be hard going,
I used to catch my Salmon on the middle reaches, rather than the top, they are usually pretty coloured by the time they get up there.
Its a very wooded river, but there are places you can get in with the fly,
A 9ft or 10ft is all that's needed, it is not a wide river,
Most Anglers fish the worm.

thanks for the help ,should have mentioned it would be trout i was after
i was there a couple of years ago in may staying in a cottage near a ford, and had a wonder with the dog along the riverbank which was narrow and quite overgrown(old water i think) and could see fish rising up stream which i assume were trout ,will pack a rod for the trip and make more enquiries when i get there
cheers

Better move across valley to Annan then.
Big trout (wildies) and easy access to most beats, all of them 30 minutes to one hour from dumfries
