It is mandatory by law to have a 'permit' for fishing access whilst fishing on Scotland's rivers for salmon, sea trout or brown trout. A fishing licence is currently not required on Scottish rivers except for where a Scottish border region riverbank crosses into England where a rod licence is required. Most visitors come to Scotland to catch the iconic wild Atlantic salmon which is regarded as the 'King of Fish'.
