Fishing on the River Tweed has been one of the most important industries and most popular past-times in Berwick-Upon-Tweed for hundreds of years. The River Tweed is a major river running for almost 100 miles and one of the finest salmon rivers in the country. It is particularly well known for its autumn or back end fishing, with its season unusually extending into November.
