| Coarse Fishing in Scotland
Check out the following link for a comprehensive guide to coarse fishing in Scotland, including Pike venues.
When fly fishing for Pike in
Scotland please seek permission to fish and check very carefully
that those giving permission are able to do so and also that they
understand the type of fishing involved.
Most of the waters on the web
site are poor Salmon waters (or Salmon are not present) and that is
why Pike Fishing is popular on them with the exception perhaps of
Loch Ness.
Any that are good waters require a
permit. Details of these are on the web site.
It would be deemed good
manners if you did not fly fish on Sundays. One very important thing
to remember is that if you fished a popular Salmon river with the fly without
permission you would be definitely accused of poaching and
"removed"
