Fishing Suggestions

Hello,

My sons (12 & 16) and I will be staying in Edinburgh later this month and they said they would like to go fishing. We will be relying on public transportation, but we'd be willing to travel for some exciting fishing spots and beautiful scenery. They fish both fresh & saltwater and are both avid fishermen. They're skill set is with bait casting though, but they're willing to give fly fishing a try. We will not be traveling with any fishing gear, so they will need access to rods & reels as well. Thanks in advance!

I think managed fisheries are a good way for the visitor travelling without tackle to get some time with a rod in their hand. I'm more acquainted with the west of Scotland and Speyside, but I did a quick Google and turned up this place -

Maybe not the best in sporting terms, but close to the city and have opportunities to cast a fly and fish with bait. Fairly easily reached from Curriehill on the train or Balerno on the bus, (then a long walk or short taxi ride) from what I can gather.
