Choose the right time of year. The best time for fishing in Scotland varies depending on the species of fish you are targeting. For salmon, the best time is typically from April to June. For trout, the best time is typically from May to September.
Use the right gear. You will need to have the appropriate rod and reel for the type of fishing you are doing. For salmon fishing, you will need a strong rod and reel, as well as a variety of flies. For trout fishing, you can use a lighter rod and reel, as well as a variety of lures and bait.
Be patient. Fishing can be a lot of fun, but it can also be frustrating. It is important to be patient when fishing.
Respect the environment. This means following all of the fishing regulations, as well as being careful not to pollute the water.
Be stealthy. Fish are very sensitive to noise and movement, so it is important to be as stealthy as possible when fishing.
