Maps and Information on
Sea Trout Rivers of Southern Scotland
The south west of Scotland has some of the best sea
trout fishing rivers in the country. Rivers like the Border Esk, Nith
and Annan have some of the most attractive beats for night fishing and
can provide excellent sport with sea trout through the summer months,
before the main runs of salmon appear in the autumn. Permits are
available at reasonable cost on a wide variety of beats, on association
waters, hotel beats and private estates, although it has to be said that
the last few years has seen a worrying dip in the numbers of sea trout
caught.
The map below shows the main sea trout rivers in
southern Scotland. The famous River Tweed flows eastward to
enter the North Sea at Berwick; the Nith, Annan and Esk southwards into the Solway Firth. Clicking on a
green dot will take you to a
page showing detailed maps of each sea trout river with
additional information on the sea trout fishing available on
the rivers in the south of Scotland.

In addition to the information provided
here, I would recommend that anyone planning a fishing or
walking trip in Scotland should equip themselves with a compass
and the appropriate Ordnance Survey map. The most useful of the
O.S. maps for the fisherman is the Landranger series, scale
1:50,000. For each of the lochs and rivers listed here, I have given the
relevant O.S. Map number. See
Ordnance
Survey Maps.
For a comprehensive guide to fishing on the lochs and rivers
of Scotland, I would recommend that you invest in a copy of
Bruce Sandison's excellent book:
Rivers & Lochs of Scotland: The Angler's Complete Guide 2013/14
