Salmon Rivers Of Scotland

Scotland's salmon rivers are set amongst naturally beautiful landscapes which were formed during the last ice age by glacial movement from which rain water & snow melt travels from the mountain tops to the coasts via perfect gravel & boulder strewn riverbeds. It is in these gravel beds that they lay their eggs through the Winter months in order to restart the Atlantic salmon life cycle of these magnificent creatures. The juvenile salmon will hatch from their eggs during late Spring when the water warms. These juvenile salmon will feed in the river for typically 2 to 4 years before their mass decent to the sea. Once in the sea they will migrate to the rich feeding grounds off Greenland & the Faroes Islands before returning back to their native river typically after 1 to 4 years at sea. Pursuing Atlantic salmon via a salmon fishing vacation in the most scenic and famous rivers of Scotland is the result of this amazing creature's life journey.

Certain areas of each individual river can be different in appearance and composition depending on whether there's a rock or clay river bed terrain the river is flowing over at that point. Indeed some of the River Tay as an example flows through a narrow gorge rock shelved river bed in its lower regions yet only a few miles upstream where the valley opens up huge gravel riverbanks have formed naturally and shallower streamier water exists. These are typical attributes that make Scottish salmon fishing so fascinatingly varied.
