About us

Fish Wild was set up in 2003 with the sole intention of offering a first-class, professional guiding/instruction service for anyone keen to fish for wild brown trout, grayling, sea trout and salmon in stunning locations. Since then we have welcomed hundreds of clients from all over the world, to all areas of Scotland, and had a lot of fun. We’ve enjoyed no shortage of successes and, inevitably in the pursuit of wild fish, some enjoyable trials and tribulations along the way too.

Fish Wild is run by Finlay Wilson who lives next to and manages three miles of private double-bank fishing on the River Tweed. He is a life-long fishing nut and divides his time between a career in music, freelance journalism and catching fish - oh, and running after two teenage daughters. Finlay is a Hardy/Greys endorsed guide, a member of the Hardy Academy and a regular contributor to fly-fishing publications like Trout & Salmon magazine. Fish Wild guides are all fully qualified and committed to improving your fishing knowledge and skills, whatever your level may be.

There’s nothing more we like doing at Fish Wild than catching fish – it’s what we do best. But there’s so much more to fly-fishing and our team fully appreciate this. Beginners can take advantage of our half-day introductory sessions from £75, or casting lessons at £25 per hour while for the more accomplished, serious angler there is really no limit to what’s on offer in terms of specimen fish and fresh challenges. Please get in touch, tell us what you're looking for and we’ll do the rest to ensure you get the most out of your time spent with us.
