Tweed owners joined the FishPal & FishTweed team for an analysis of the challenges beat owners now face.
FishPal are the number one provider of salmon and trout fishing days, selling availability on behalf of 750 fishery owners and river trusts in the UK, Ireland and Iceland.
The customers we sell our fishing to are a diverse group of people coming from across the UK & Europe from large cities to remote areas of the country. Yet they share something in common a love for the very best salmon and trout fishing.
