Family Trips
We really enjoy having families on our trips, it’s a great opportunity for bonding and we try our hardest to ignite a passion for fishing in our young guests. Achieving that, while catching fish, is enormously rewarding.
We’ve selected some family-friendly venues where catches are as likely as can be, and we hope to generate an environment of fun, interest and togetherness.
Our Locations
Perthshire
With endless river systems and upland lochs packed with trout, gorgeous scenery and lots of non-fishing attractions, Perthshire is an ideal family destination.
Edinburgh
Edinburgh is very well placed for quick access to a number of stocked lochs in the hills. Catch rates are very good and we’re confident we can put you on fish at any time of the year.
Argyll
Argyll has lots of great places for youngsters. Whether you would like a spot which will provide a near certain catch or somewhere where the natural beauty will ‘hook’ them for life, Argyll has it all.
How Your Trip Works
1. Start of the day
Your guide will pick you up at your accommodation (usually at 9am) and drive you to the fishing venue where they will set you up with the most suitable fishing equipment for the day’s conditions.
2. Coaching and assistance
Your guide will coach you on local conditions, show you where and how to cast, and generally how to fish the way that we have found is the most effective. If you’re an experienced angler your guide will simply offer tips and guidance.
3. Friendly company
Your guide will provide friendly company throughout the day, offer advice on playing big powerful fish, net and unhook your catch and help you out with any fishing troubles (like snags and tangles).
4. Lunch
You’ll stop for a lunch break, usually around 1pm (unless otherwise arranged, lunch is not included, so be sure to bring something to eat).
5. End of the day
Your guide will take you back to your accommodation around 5pm. The photos that they have taken of you throughout your day will be sent on afterwards.
