Wild Fishing Scotland Mostly wild trout, but ALL over Scotland

FLIES? - No problem. We have the world renowned Jimmy and Gloria Younger at Greenbogue, Torthorwald, Dumfries. DG1 3QG. Phone 01387 750247.

As seen in many, many articles in the angling magazines.They can tie anything, and have most flies in stock, but they do need notice for anything unusual. Incidentally don't try to find the place without clear directions. I did once and spent a good hour driving round some - admittedly pretty - back roads.
