Jeremy Your friend was right,fishing in Scotland is pretty comlicated,to explain it simply it works on 2 levels - 1 Salmon and Sea Trout-To fish for these you need to have the permission of the owner of the water,this invariably involves paying by day or week.You guys will probably gasp when I tell you that a week on a prime "beat" could cost $5000 at the height of the run.This is the top end and you can find beats for $100.The guide your friend mentioned is known as a ghillie and is employed by the owner to take the guests out fishing,unlike your guides who are freelance. 2 Brown Trout and Grayling-The fishing rights are still held by the landowner however ancient bylaws give us poor folk the right to fish for them,the fishing is generally managed by local clubs who issue permits to fish,very cheap maybe $20 per year. 3 The Sea-Free I like this one best. Hope this is makes sense.
