About this water

The River Teith is a declining Atlantic salmon system where declining Atlantic salmon populations are Category 3 under Scottish Government classification; every fish returned matters. Mandatory catch-and-release applies. It also holds excellent brown trout, particularly on the middle beats between Callander and Doune, where the river runs fast and clear over gravel and boulders. Most beats are privately let through estates and the Teith District Salmon Fishery Board; club water exists for day-ticket trout fishing through Callander and Doune Angling Clubs. Spring salmon run from March; grilse from June; autumn run through September and October.
