A few weeks ago I was contacted by Mike Kernan from The Scottish Sun, he had heard some good things about Scotia Fishing and wanted to write an article on our success. It came as a surprise, but what a pleasant one! Mike took a few words from me but had already digested enough information from others and via our website. A week or so passed and I thought nothing of it until I got a phone call from my good friend and mentor Steven Reid!
One for the scrap book..
It’s always good to be recognised for your dedication and hard work. I really look forward to growing Scotia Fishing, building our reputation and reading more positive stories and reviews!

Scotia Fishing specialise in guided Salmon fishing near Gleneagles. We use a number of locations throughout the Tay system, with the opportunity to fish prime beats on the mighty River Tay, only a short car journey from Gleneagles. The River Tay is famous for producing the British record rod caught Salmon of 64lb, caught by Miss Georgina Ballantine back in 1922.

That special fish remains the rod caught record for the British Isles to this day! 2013 So the Tay have one of it’s best seasons for a long time. The cold start to the year seemed to really help the Spring fishing, with many beats on the river breaking records.
