SAIA was formed in 1948 to promote access for brown trout & grayling fly fishing on 11 miles of the rivers Isla, Dean & Kerbet in the Vale of Strathmore, but at prices affordable to all ages of local anglers.

 

The Association is wholly run by volunteers with all ticket sales monies used to improve the rivers by sympathetic stocking.

​​

Strathmore Angling Improvement Association strongly recommends that All anglers should be insured and are reminded that they fish at their own risk.

It is also strongly recommended that all anglers wear an Auto inflate buoyancy aid for their own safety.

 

 

The Fish & Rivers 

 

​Each season at various river locations, SAIA stock between 300-500 fully grown brown trout. These stocked fish supplement the already high levels of wild brown trout & grayling in the rivers. Each season wild trout & grayling in excess of 2lb are caught. A four fish day limit of 11" + trout is set, but correct catch and release is actively promoted and practiced by most anglers.

 

General Statement On Fishery

​

The association waters run through farm land and wooded areas. The river banks and the surrounding land can be rough and overgrown by vegetation and fallen trees as well as other hazards. Unless you are able bodied and fit these areas can be difficult to navigate and fish.
