Legal Aspects

The rights to fish for salmon and freshwater fish in Scotland are privately owned. Fishing for salmon and sea trout without the legal right, or written permission from a person having such a right, is a criminal offence. Fishing for all other freshwater fish without the right or written permission is, in general, a civil offence.

Anglers are not the only recreational users of Scotland's water resources. The Land Reform Act 2003 establishes a right of access to the countryside for informal recreation and passage. However, this right does not extend to a right to fish.

The Scottish Executive publishes information on Freshwater fish and fishing in Scotland and Fishing rights and access.
