Chasing Fins are delighted to announce we have teamed up with Aardvark McLeod to offer our guests a series of exclusive guided salmon and seatrout fly fishing trips on the River Tweed and its tributaries.

Following yesterdays announcement from the North Eastern Councils and Local Authorities, we have reviewed the Chasing Fins COVID policy.

Chasing Fins are delighted to announce we are working in partnership with Alba Game Fishing. Alba provides fishing trips and “bespoke fishing and touring vacations" throughout Scotland for salmon, trout, sea trout, grayling and saltwater species.

After years of my mother pestering me for casting lessons and trying to fit it in around guiding abroad and guiding back home, this Spring has given me and my mam a great chance to spend some quality time together on the river and teach her the wonderful art of spey casting.

The sea trout has always been in my eyes one of my favourite fish to catch, I've caught fish from all around the world, be it an ocean going torpedo like a long tail tuna or a big feisty giant trevally trying to engulf your surf candy as your run out of stripping power!
