FishPal

While fly fishing on stretches of Scotland's River Tweed and its tributaries sounds like a perfect getaway from the 21st century, modern technology is actually helping conservationists and anglers gain in-depth knowledge of the waters.

Anglers who use the innovative FishPal service to book their fly fishing permits and accommodation online raised more than £27,000 for angling and conservation charities last year.

The darkest days of winter are over for anglers as the first of Scotland's major rivers has reopened. The River Tay opening ceremony took place on 15 January and already the 2025 salmon season is in full swim.

Iceland is known as the land of fire and ice. For many anglers, it's also a promised land, with gin-clear, unspoiled waters that are home to salmon, trout and Arctic char.

Two of Europe's leading providers of online fishing bookings and data, FishPal and Elveguiden are joining forces with immediate effect.

The rains that succeeded the unusually dry and warm end to September in Scotland won't have been popular with most people, but they were welcomed by anglers travelling to Scotland looking to land a big Tay salmon before the close season.

FishPal, the innovative service that enables anglers to book fly fishing permits online and access the latest information about where is fishing well, has expanded into Ireland and Northern Ireland.
