Whether the preference is river, sea or loch fishing, beginners and seasoned anglers alike will be spoilt for choice by the great selection of places to fish and fish to catch. Major rivers such as the Esk, Annan, Nith, Cree, Dee and Bladenoch all flow through the region providing superb river fishing for salmon, sea trout and trout, as well as offering excellent opportunities for coarse fishing and the chance to catch roach, tench, perch or bream to name but a few.

Guests to the area who want to learn how to get started with fishing or are looking to improve their technique can easily arrange expert tuition. The nearby Broom Fisheries in Annan can organise lessons in fly casting and experts are always on hand to provide advice to fellow anglers. If all that is not enough to attract visitors then there is always the attraction of simply whiling away the hours in the idyllic and stunning surroundings Dumfries and Galloway is renowned for.
