Fishing near Hamilton, Scotland

Hamilton sits in South Lanarkshire, flanked by the River Clyde and Avon Water within a kilometre of the town centre. The area is a practical base for both game and coarse fishing: the Clyde system carries Atlantic salmon and brown trout, while still-water venues such as Lanark Loch and Quarter Fishery draw coarse and trout anglers. The Upper River Avon, accessible through a local association, adds fly fishing for wild brown trout on a spate river running through the surrounding countryside.
