I would like to fit in a couple of days salmon fishing before the year is out.
Don't want to take out a mortgage to do it, but I'm prepared to fork out a few
quid.
There would be two of us and we have the necessary fly gear.
I have never fly fished for salmon before so a bit of river side tuition could be
included.
Any commendations from our knowledgeable forum members would be
appreciated.

Give Ben Dixon at the Orvis shop in Banchory a shout, he does guided Salmon trips on the Don.

Try ringing Glyn or Iltyd:-

Fully qualified AAPGAI instructors, Illtyd Griffiths, Neil Truelove and Glyn Freeman, are running the course. The ghillie is Kevin Patterson who is himself a qualified instructor and knows the water and the fishing very well.

Autumn 2010

The September three day salmon course with fishing is really for those who would like to fish the Tweed at prime time when the autumn fish are arriving in numbers and are still very fresh and the problems of leaves in the river has not as yet appeared.

Opportunities to fish the river at this time is very much at a premium and Glyn and I look forward to helping some fishers really enjoy the cream of Autumn fishing in the British Isles.

The cost of this course includes the fishing, three course evening dinner, accommodation bed and breakfast with packed lunch/BBQ, great fishing lodge with W.C facilities and coffee.

Staying at the Buccleuch Arms Hotel

One only has to come and think of the fish one is likely to catch while the cost still compares favourably with the costs of fishing only on many middle Tweed beats at this time of year.

We can supply suitable equipment for the course if you do not have any at no extra cost.

There will be at least three fully qualified instructors on hand Illtyd Griffiths, Neil Truelove

and Glyn Freeman plus Kevin Patterson the Ghillie.

Dates for the river Tweed courses at Tweedswood in 2010 are:

Autumn salmon course

September 27th - 29th

Cost £1200

The Downside is that you'll end up meeting me as I thrash around wearing my fly-line around my neck and being too loud!

stick with the trout!!!!!! Never go salmon fishing! A right pain when they aren't taking and there's nothing you can do..

Don't listen to this. In my mind salmon fishing is the most exciting type of fly fishing around. Hutchy I can see where you are coming from and I respect your views but in in my mind that makes it more exciting, few words of advice, if your fishing near the sea plan your visit when it is high tide, also never give up you never know when that big salmon is going to hit your fly and trust me they hit them hard.

I was only joking bigdon- If you o catch a salmon the reward is worth it! Although I don't find the actual fishing part of it exciting compared to dry fly trout. The take and playing them is more exciting by far.

Sounds good-Bert. I will look into that.Speak to you when your back. Peter

Will be back on line from 10th september, but will not be able to fish till 15th onwards.

Agreed. In my opinion there's nothing to remotely compare to a large salmon rolling over your fly and then feeling the heavy weight when you lift into him.
