Fish species
Anglers on the River Tweed can target brown trout, grayling, sea trout and salmon. Brown trout dominate most beats here; grayling, sea trout, and salmon appear on certain rivers and seasons.
The River Tweed is the border river. It rises in the Lowther Hills at Tweed’s Well, runs east for about 97 miles across the Scottish Borders and enters the North Sea at Berwick-upon-Tweed. East of Birgham and Carham it forms the line between Scotland and England for roughly 19 miles, and only about 4 miles of its course lie wholly in England. We cover the English bank, in Northumberland.
It is one of the great salmon rivers of Britain. There are two runs, a smaller one in spring and a much larger one in autumn, and sea trout come mainly in summer. The salmon and sea trout season runs from 1 February to 30 November, and brown trout are fished from April to September. Grayling were put into the river in 1855 and are now part of the winter fishing.
The Tweed is managed as a single river by the River Tweed Commission, whichever side of the border you stand on. It is also the only river in England where an Environment Agency rod licence is not needed, though the Tweed’s own rules apply.
