Fishing  
Fishing Fishing is very popular in the Dumfries area and there are plenty of lochs and rivers to choose from.

Rod Fishing off the Quay - End is permitted, which is right outside the hotel. You are most likely to catch flounders or eels, or why not have a shot at flounder tramping in the River Nith.

If you prefer, you can sit back and relax in the comfortable surroundings of the Nith Hotel whilst watching the local men Haaf Netting for Salmon.
