Nice river to fish near glasgow

[clyde-rod]

I have fished the clyde for 5 years now, but i want to fish somewhere different. I would be looking to buy a season ticket and i would like it to be a decent sized river which is justifiable of a salmon rod. Any suggestions would be great. thanks

cud go for the forth, around 150 160 a season, or maybe the teith for bout same, less than half hour fae glesga 2, a fink a gonna take ma own advice this comin year

I've never fished it, but have only heard very good reports on the Teith. Also, the Ayrshire rivers like the Nith and the Stinchar were good rivers when I fished them in the 80's as a youngster. I've heard nothing to suggest they've deteriorated. Had some great back end sport on the Nith.

Clyde-rod,Stormont Angling club have 3 Tay beats,ranging from opposite the town water to the two beats immediately below the Almond Mouth beat.First year of membership should be in the region of £150 ish (thats club membership and the relevant Salmon permit).Beats are:Stanners/Willowgate,Muirton and Rome Croy(the best beat).If you decide to have a go you should be offered a Muirton permit in your first year but if you want Rome Croy you will have to wait. Club also has water on The River Almond too.Contact details:

Now is the time to apply as the seasons just finished and people may have dropped out leaving vacancies.Just ask if you want any more info.Pedro.

You could try the Leven.
It is cheaper than the one's mentioned.
btw That shouldn't be an excuse to raise the prices.

Try the leven on the basis that you will have to learn the single spey left hand up to fish half of the decent runs.That can only be good for your all round fishing.

I fish the Leven and agree with this totally, I also find my left hand up is a vast improvement compared to my right hand up even though I'm a Right hooker.
Probably more to do with a p1ss poor technique or maybe taking it slower overall?

clyde-rod i fish the forth at stirling and must tell you its really busy,but its good water from july onward.

river tieth is a bit of a spring ticket with the best chance of a good fish between march and may then june till august is prime time for sea trout.
i know they had a great season for sea trout.

Clyde Rod is a more than capable caster with either hand up the rod. I've watched him more than once on the run above the Bonhill pool and he'd put many folk to shame. Myself included.
Lost interest in the Leven , R?

Thanks very much ibm59. I have never really fished to leven enough to pass judgement, although i will be trying hard next season.
