"I can't thank you enough for all your hospitality. We are deeply appreciative. Our group of two couples fished with Tweed Guide for Trout on a beautiful private stretch of water. Tweed Guide placed us perfectly for all four to fish, with even the less experienced of us feeling perfectly comfortable. As an experienced trout fly fisherman, I would recommend Tweed Guide without hesitation".

"I have fished in many parts of the world and consider fishing the Tweed with Tweed Guide as one of my best fishing experiences. I highly recommend it for any angler regardless of level of experience" Steve McIlvain (Miami Florida)
"I cannot thank Tweed Guide enough for my four magical days on the Tweed. Having admired tales of my river-fishing friends for years, yet only having experienced fly-fishing on still water, to have had four fantastic days with you guys was a brief taste of something that I am now sure will be a part of my life for as long as I am able. To stand in the river and concentrate on all drift and no drag is to be transported to a far better place than we live our normal lives in. The care, attention and clear passion that Tweed Guide have for what you do and the river that you do it in is a joy to be a part of - you guys are fantastic. There can be no better recommendation for the Tweed and Tweed Guide other than to say that I will be back up and into the river with you as soon as I can. Thank you." Tim Ryan ( London)

"Knowing I had never fished for salmon before, Tweed Guide put together a superb bespoke, value for money three day package, including accommodation, casting tuition, knowledgeable and helpful ghillies and three outstandingly beautiful and productive beats. The confidence the team gave me and the trust I had in them, saw me ‘grass’ my first ever two salmon, gain excellent new found knowledge and skills and make some great new fishing friends. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend Tweed Guide to both new and experienced fly fishers as a quality and trustworthy provider." Mark Clark (Guildford)
 "Lynda and I enjoyed the scenery, the conversation, the professional knowledge, and the patience with us both as we explored and learned with you! Thank you for an experience that will forever be imprinted on our lives! Your skill as a guide is exemplary, every place you said a fish would reside, there they were! Lynda also expressed a genuine appreciation for learning from you the casting techniques, and she was thrilled with her ability to be able to "do it" on her own! " Chuck and Lynda Perry ( Bakersfield, California)
"We really appreciated your help and dedication, which made our first fly fishing experience a great success. A special thank you for taking such good care of Dennis. He really loved it!"

You will fall in love with Scotland as we have." Tina & Curt Lamb (Indiana)

"Thanks for the photos and a great day out." Patrick Moore (One of five Australians and a Canadian from London)
"I want to commend TWEED GUIDE for your quick and informative replies always within 24 hours and you answered all my questions. When we met on the Tweed for our day's fishing you could not have been more helpful or more informative. The fishing gear you provided was first class. I actually got the hang of the 15 ft pole with your help. When I started looking into fishing in Scotland with the river permits. fees, ghillies and such things it appeared it would be a daunting task to make appropriate arrangements, but Tweed Guide made it all so simple. I would recommend anyone wanting to fish in the Borders Region to contact you first. You quickly took the mystery out of the planning process so we could concentrate on the beauty of fishing the River Tweed.Thanks for your expert help. I hope to see you and the River Tweed again." Brandt Wax (Beverly Hills , California)
"The hotel was a terrific choice and as you said, the food was outstanding - so was the service I thought. Our guide was a fund of knowledge about the river which he clearly knew like the back of his hand and was good company to boot. I thought the Tweed Guide set up was first rate and I will certainly be contacting you again. Many thanks for making my 50th a day to remember rather than one best forgotten." Paul Jones ( Newcastle)

"This was the highlight of our stay in Scotland. It was my wife's first time fishing, and our guide was patient and friendly. The gear was top rate, the food was tasty and plentiful, and the scenery was breathtaking. Arranging the tour was a breeze, thanks to Tweed Guide's diligence at responding to our emails and answering all of our questions before we arrived. This was the easiest, and most beautiful day of fishing I've ever had, and we will do it again when we return." Hudson and Karen Brown (Phoenix, Arizona)
"Tweed Guide made our first fishing experience in Scotland really special. Not only did you help us catch some beautiful fish, but we enjoyed spending two days exploring the River Tweed with you. We hope to see you again soon." Kelly & Mike Palmer ( Minneapolis, Minnesota & London )
"We had a wonderful time fishing. We had a super guide who made it all very easy for us. Alex was thrilled to be in the river and using a fly rod and flies. He is telling everyone that it was proper fishing (rather than our more amateur attempts at home!).I would have no hesitation in recommending Tweed Guide to anyone else: every aspect of the service from the booking to the guiding was first rate." Melanie Benn and her son Alex
"Once again, I would like to thank Tweed Guide for your contribution to the success of our American FAM trip last week Monday. Although you could not help it, the weather was fantastic and one of the girls caught a fish! She was over the moon with her success."

" When us 5 old geriatrics booked a fishing experience with Tweed Guide, we did not really know what to expect, in terms of tuition, expertise etc.However from our first introduction to Tweed Guide, we felt extremely comfortable and at ease, as it became apparent that both guides really were very experienced in the ways of the fish, especially on the Tweed.The instruction and enjoyment we received during our day with you is unlikely to be surpassed, indeed I would challenge anyone to show me a more skilful yet relaxing day's fishing. I do speak for all 5 of us." Jim Routledge ( Whitley Bay)
"Tweed Guide is a fantastic outfit! My background included significant flyfishing experience in the Western United States but I was working in Scotland on a separate assignment. My time was very limited but Tweed Guide worked around my schedule and put me on fish immediately. Out of all the rivers I've fished, the Tweed ranks among the most beautiful and the guides as the most experienced and knowledgeable. I immediately felt as though I were among friends. I would tell anyone from any background that has an hour, a day or a week to see them for an out of this world experience." H. Franz Hostalka (USA ) FormerMontana Guide
"Tweed Guide provided an excellent day on the Tweed River. They were knowledgeable, had excellent equipment, provided a wonderful shore side lunch, and great fellowship on and off the river. They set us up with a great Bed and Breakfast experience and helped us get all the arrangements together before we even arrived. Look forward to fishing with them here in our home waters in Montana and again when we return to Scotland. " , Dan Jacobs Previous Montana River Guide and 1992 Montana Hunter of the Year
 " It was an excellent day, previously I had big gaps in my knowledge about how to approach the river, and was largely unsuccessful. However after the day's tuition, I have become familiar with all the necessary techniques to catch Trout and Grayling, and have found that I am able to have a good day's fishing on my own.
I will recommend Tweed Guide to all my friends who I am trying to introduce to the sport, and I also hope to have another guided day in the future perhaps to explore new sections of the river and learn other successful techniques." Henry Brown (Edinburgh)
" Tweed Guide was a perfect choice for us two fishermen from Finland who had never tried fly fishing. After 2 days with our guides we "mastered" fly fishing.

"Excellent trip all round. We both enjoyed it very much and found our Tweed Guide to be a good teacher and pleasant company. The bumper grayling was a special bonus and will be remembered for a long time." Steve Icke
" In terms of the day, the river and surroundings were absolutely beautiful. Tweed Guide was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and kept it all simple. The fishing just takes your mind off everything - I even forgot the cold (it was mid-December). An absolutely great day and I cannot wait to get back. I went to bed that night totally relaxed and went to sleep hearing the sound of the running water of the River Tweed.” John Norman (Harpenden, Herts)
"We had a thoroughly enjoyable and instructive couple of days with Yweed Guide. Friendly and helpful tuition, great locations and the excitement of actually catching a few fish all made for a great weekend. We finished the weekend full of enthusiasm and making plans to get back out in the water as soon as possible. We will be back!" D Campbell & Maria (London)
"With not much time to plan our trip a friend and myself went to the web and soon found a website which suited our needs .... an affordable day out fishing for salmon and other fish with all the kit and extras included.

Julian & Robin (Zimbawe)

"We had a great time. Although the weather wasn't great, the Fly-fishing and Falconry experience was great. From the time we had arrived in the restaurant till the closing of the program with a 'whiskey-tasting' we felt very welcome during our first visit to Scotland. Thanks for all the fun we had with the whole group. Some of the guys already are talking about a fly-fishing weekend in Scotland after the summer, so they experienced the day as a great day. Furthermore, I'd like to thank you about your flexibility. I know it cost you a lot of effort to arrange the day according to our tight schedule and you had to arrange the activities in an area that isn't your normal working-area." Jeannot Bos (Amsterdam) Tweed Guide organised a Falconry/Fly Fishing day for 12 Dutchmen on a stag weekend !!
"Joan and I had a great time on the Tweed with Tweed Guide - an evening fish by the "Cowie Pool" during a big hatch, and a day fish following. Not another angler in sight, knowledgeable and fun guide, lots of feisty fish and neat technique tricks. We hope to do it again, and again. Tight Lines!!" Pat and Joan Morton (Worthington, Ohio)

I would recommend Tweed Guide to anyone looking for a first-class Scottish game fishing experience!" David Heyman (Chicago Illinois)
"A great day out. Tweed Guide picked me up promptly from the hotel and provided excellent instruction and company for the entire afternoon and evening. The location was exactly what I had been hoping for, a small and secluded stretch of water. All in all it was exactly the reintroduction to the sport that I needed." R Donaldson (Germany)

"I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience from the hotel to the fishing. Thanks to your patience and personal commitment to my visit I felt that I really did learn so much. I now feel completely confident about booking a beat and getting on with the job. Sad thing is it had to come to an end.

Jamie said Tweed Guide was great, very attentive and helped every time he had a bite. The day was well worth the money, and as for Jamie, what could be more idyllic than a day's fishing in the beautiful Tweed 'neath the Eildon Hills with first class equipment and expert advice" Nina Lawrie ( Fife)
" Ta wyprawa na ryby była zupełnie wyjątkowa. Czułem się wręcz rozpieszczony gościnnością i obsługą załogi Bila. Moim zadaniem było tylko wyciąganie ryb z wody, o całą resztę zadbała firma Tweed Guide. Wróciłem bardzo zadowolony, pomimo że nie złowiłem żadnej ryby, …brak szczęścia składam na karb wczesnowiosennej pory roku i jeszcze zbyt zimnej wody, oraz na obcą mi metodę wędkarstwa muchowego. Serdeczne pozdrawiam. This fishing trip was completely unique. I was overwhelmed with hospitality and service of the Tweed Guide team. My task was only to pull fish out of the water, all the rest was taken care of by Tweed Guide. I came back very happy although I didn’t catch anything, … for this though I would blame the early spring season and still cold water as well as the my little skills in fly fishing technique. Jan Przybycien ( Poland)
"Tweed Guide's knowledge of the fishing in the area is outstanding, and the friendly personal service provided was excellent in every way. I am happy to recommend Tweed Guide to anyone." Ian Clark (Director, Scottish Association for Country Sports)http://www.sacs.org.uk/
