The D&G Angling Association
Dumfries and Galloway Angling Association is a fishing club based in Dumfries, South West Scotland. Our beat includes numerous holding pools and access to the water is good. We welcome visitors and new members.
There are many great fishing locations throughout Dumfries and Galloway and we control a variety of productive waters on the River Nith and its major tributary the River Cairn. Given the correct water levels, there are few Scottish rivers which can match the quality of Salmon, Sea Trout and Brown Trout fishing to be had on the River Nith.
