ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION
St Boswells Angling Association was formed between 1920 and 1922. The club was re-constituted in 1938 to include Newtown and District Anglers. The first leases allowed trout fishing on about 1 mile of river, now there are 7-8 miles to enjoy.

The club has evolved over the years and now welcomes both locals and visitors to enjoy  the river.

Having spent several years stocking the river the club has now ceased this practice on the advice of The Tweed Foundation whose aims are to return the River Tweed to a completely wild fishery. The Club supports the Tweed Foundation’s aims and provides both financial and physical assistance to its various projects. On behalf of the Tweed Foundation biologists we operate a fish trap on a tributary burn and we take part in Fly Life and other surveys as part of the Tweed Trout and Grayling Initiative.

Local members take part in catch and release River competitions and Loch fishing outings are arranged.

River Levels can be checked by clicking here. St Boswells is between Boleside and Sprouston the two nearest monitoring stations.

From our local membership, the club is lucky to have two International River Fishermen as well as two International Stillwater Anglers.
