Our Facilities
You’ll get a warm welcome when you arrive at Tweedhill. We provide Tea and Coffee, and Brian regularly even brings cake for our guests to enjoy. We also provide lunch for our fishing guests, as the nearest village, Norham, is fifteen minute’s drive away, and the Morrisons at Berwick-on-Tweed is a similar distance. Lunch includes: sandwiches, pork pie, crisps, and orange juice. It’s included in the cost of your booking.
Our excellent, one and a half storeyed, fishing hut used to be the Shiel or netting station before we became a Salmon fishery. We provide landing nets if you need them.
There are two car parks: an upstream car park, for when you are fishing
towards the bottom of the Fishwick beat, or at the top of Saint Thomas’s Island; and the main car park, at the Shiel. Car parking for the lower beat, Union, is next to the Scottish end of the Union Bridge.
And in case you don’t have quite the right tackle for some of our faster runs, Brian also has a comprehensive stock of leaders and casts, as well as flies.
You can try almost any fly you want to, as the Salmon are new to the river and won’t have seen any flies before. Black and Orange patterns often succeed here.
We meet at the Shiel at 9:00am from Monday to Saturday to start fishing. Or, if you fancy a cup of tea before starting fishing, then arrive at 8:15am. (There isn’t any Salmon or Sea Trout fishing in Scotland on Sundays.) And we finish at 5:00pm, with a break at lunch time. In the Summer months, some guests also continue to fish into the evening, for Salmon and Sea Trout.
