About Fishing around the Forth

Fishing around the Forth is a not for profit project developed by the Forth Rivers Trust and Forth District Salmon Fishery Board in conjunction with angling clubs and fisheries to promote the fantastic opportunities to fish around the Forth.

The project has worked with clubs and owners of fisheries around the Forth to create an online hub where anglers interested finding out more about the opportunities to fish can do so in one place.

Fishing around the Forth is also not for profit. This means that any funds raised via the website such as booking fees and selling advertisement space will be spent keeping this site up and running continuing to promote the great opportunities to fish around the Forth.  Any income generated above the costs of running Fishing around the Forth will be used to promote the sport of angling in the Forth.

The project was awarded just under £60,000 in 2019 from Leader, a European Union rural development programme, to help build the foundations for promoting angling opportunities throughout the Forth.

Currently, the project involves rivers and natural lochs which flow into the Forth estuary and Firth of Forth. We have plans to expand this as Fishing around the Forth grows. If you are a fishery and would like to get involved with Fishing around the Forth, please get in touch.
