Fishinguide Scotland

My partner and I did the blast and cast trip for her birthday and it was easily one of the best day trips we've together. The shooting was great, and the instructor was very helpful. Richard was an outstanding and highly knowledgeable guide, who really went out of his way to make the day special - from recommending the best places to get food, to even giving my partner a birthday present. The scenery was stunning throughout, and had a genuine sense of being in the wild. We will definitely be going again, and have already recommended it to friends and family!

We had a great day with Neil involving a hike to a remote hill loch and then our first experience of fly fishing. Location was stunning, the weather didn't play ball so we were pretty soaked when we returned at the end of the day and we only had a few bites all day. However, despite not catching we had a great day in a beautiful location. Neil was a great guide with excellent communications prior to our trip and it was a real pleasure to spend the day with him.

Jock and Duncan provide a great fishing experience!!!I just returned from a short trip to Edinburgh Scotland and can report that myself and two sons (32 & 22 yrs) had a great time fishing with Jock. He was absolutely a one-of-kind instructor for novice fly fishermen and had us up and running in no time. The venue was gorgeous...the heather was just starting to sprout, geese on the loch and nice sized rainbow trout.I great experience for all and certainly made our trip that much more memorable. Thanks guys...we'll be back!Donald

I spent a great fishing day on a fantastic Scottish river looking for Atlantic Salmon. Duncan is a great fly fishing teacher and a friendly company who I strongly recommend for a memorable fishing experience in Scotland. I really appreciated that he allowed my wife to come with us to all the fishing spots and that he provided with waders even if she didn't partecipate to the fishing action.It took 2 hours by car to reach on our own the suggested place where we met at 9:00. Duncan picked us up perfectly on time. He brought us to the first fishing spot and we started in a short time.I hadn't had any fly fishing experience before (I'm an angler) so I was taught with the basis of technique and I took familiarity with the most important casts during the first part of the morning. Duncan showed a great experience in teaching with different methods and various kind of approach which helped me a lot. I had a lot of fun and I've discovered a new feeling in fly fishing that spinning never gave me before.After tutoring we started with the fishing action having immediately a salmon tug" but no catch. The weather didn't help because it started to rain heavily until lunch time. I continued fishing action despite the rain

Had a perfect day of salmon fishing with Neil on the Tay! Highly recommend spending a day with him. Had no salmon fishing or Spey casting experience but he helped me learn quickly and had a very full day of fishing.

We had an absolutely wonderful day fly fishing with Neil and would thoroughly recommend to anyone, no matter what level of skill you currently have. We were a mixed ability couple, myself having zero experience, but Neil was incredibly patient with the knack of explaining things in a way that made you able to learn very quickly. We both caught more than a fish that day, having left with the bug to continue to learn the art of fly casting. Thanks so much to Neil for being an all round amazing guide. Great company, excellent teacher and got some awesome pictures of us too!

Our family had a wonderful time fishing with Duncan and Tom - this was one of the highlights of our trip. Duncan went above and beyond to maximize our chance of catching salmon while also having a great time. As our group had varying skill levels, we appreciated the patient instruction for the beginners in our group. We certainly saw a lot of salmon, and ended the day as better anglers. For the more experienced ones, Duncan and Tom also set up a few lines for trout, which were feeding at the time. The whole day was very professionally run. Couldn’t ask for more. Overall, highly recommended to anyone seeing a professional, authentic and friendly Scottish salmon fishing experience.

My husband and I had a wonderful time with our guide Steve. I would highly suggest using Fishinguide Scotland and will definitely use them when we are back visiting Pitlochry area.

Went on a trip with Neil in late September 2019 near Pitlochry. Asked to see some native brown trout in their natural habitat, and Neil delivered. Took me to some very scenic spots on a section of the Upper Tummel that we had to ourselves all day, and got a handful of colourful and feisty browns to the net. When the fish decided to take a break from biting, Neil helped me refine my casting and mending techniques, and we did a bit of workshop on roll casting to help with the tight confines of the smaller section of the creek we were fishing. I felt very much improved from the beginning of the day to the end. Neil is a wonderful guide -- down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and great to have a conversation with. (I took his advice for a hike to go on the next day, and his suggestion was bang on.) I was having so much fun on the river I forgot to eat until the day was over and we got back to his van. Both Neil and Duncan were accommodating and easy to communicate with via email, and I'm grateful they were able to squeeze me in last minute when another guiding company cancelled on me due to a family emergency.

My wife and I booked a trip with Jock Kettles for an introduction to Loch style fly fishing. It was an amazing trip. Jock is an incredible guide. I caught 8+ of the largest rainbows I’ve ever landed and had many more strikes and opportunities. The scenery, conversation, wildlife viewing was amazing. We had an unforgettable trip and I left with a sore arm. Jock is certainly one of the best guides I’ve ever booked with and we will certainly be looking him up when we come back to Scotland. 10/10!
