Fishing near Glasgow, Scotland

Glasgow sits on the River Clyde in west-central Scotland, with some of the country's most productive freshwater fishing within easy reach. The Clyde itself runs through the city, holding wild brown trout, grayling, salmon and sea trout. Loch Lomond — Scotland's largest loch — is roughly a 47-minute drive away, while the Forth and Clyde Canal, accessible within the city, draws coarse anglers after pike, perch and tench. The Trossachs lochs and rivers lie within an hour's drive, rounding out a varied scene that spans game, coarse and fly fishing.
