A popular programme of women’s fly fishing days is returning to the River Tweed in 2026, marking its third consecutive year. The initiative aims to make the sport of salmon fishing more accessible, providing a welcoming environment for women of all skill levels.
The series builds on the success of previous seasons, offering guided sessions across some of the river’s most renowned beats.
Participants will benefit from expert instruction and the chance to fish in some of Scotland’s most scenic waters.
Each day caters to both beginners and experienced anglers. Participants are provided with all necessary equipment, while female casting instructors and coaches offer tuition and guidance throughout the sessions.
The programme includes several dates and locations: Saturday, May 30 at Carham Beat; Friday, June 12 at Lower North Wark; Saturday, July 25 at Boathouse & Canny; Friday, August 21 at River Ettrick, followed by lunch and a guided tour of Bowhill House; and Saturday, September 5 at Upper Caberston.
Participation fees start from £60 per day. All proceeds will support the TweedStart youth angling initiative, which encourages young people to engage with the sport and develop sustainable fishing skills.
The women’s fly fishing days continue to grow in popularity, highlighting the growing interest among women in angling and outdoor recreation. Organisers say the sessions offer not only a chance to improve technique but also an opportunity to connect with other enthusiasts and enjoy the natural beauty of the River Tweed.
