Fishing
“Some people are under the impression that all that is required to make a good fisherman is the ability to tell lies easily and without blushing; but this is a mistake.” by Jerome K. Jerome
If you are staying at THE GORDON ARMS Restaurant with Rooms, you are in one of Scotland’s finest fishing areas — surrounded by rivers and lochs rich in salmon, trout, perch, and pike.
We are pleased to offer fishing permits directly to our guests
St Mary’s Loch
St Mary’s loch Angling Club offers excellent unspoiled fishing 365 days/year on both lochs for brown trout, pike and perch at a very reasonable cost.
If you enjoy peace and tranquillity in a beautiful setting then you really must come for a visit.
St Mary’s Loch Fishing Permit: £10 pp per day.

River Tweed
River Tweed is the second longest river in Scotland. It takes great pride in the fact that it produces more salmon caught to the fly than any other river in Britain. Fishing season river Tweed is from the 1st of February till the 30th of November – fly and spinning, no Sunday fishing. You can buy fishing permit online from the company FishPal.
