  • Buy your ePermit.

    Buy up to a week in advance. Select the fishing date and click the Buy Now button to be taken to PayPal's secure payment website. Enter your details and card information to pay us the fee. You don't need a PayPal account.

  • Keep (or print) your Email Receipt.

    Keep or print your email receipt from PayPal. You'll need to show this to the bailiff when challenged so either bring your phone with the email, or a print out.

  • Taking an under 18?

    You need to print and sign a disclaimer, keep it with you for collection by a bailiff on the bank. You are responsible for both your own and your child's conduct, behaviour and safety. One under 18 year old per paying angler only.

  • Young Adult Permit

    If you are aged 18, 19, 20, 21 or 22 years old we are offering you a much reduced permit of £15 for a day with a 1 fish take limit then fish catch and release. We recognise the need to encourage younger anglers and hope that this will go so way to mitigate the cost. Please bring a valid form of photo id, such as a YoungScot card.

  • Complete Catch Return.

    Completing a catch return is a condition of fishing. To minimise the amount of contact between angler and bailiff we request that you send us your catch return by email. A simple count of number caught, returned or taken, weight and species with your name and date of fishing will do.

Permits are not available to purchase on the bank.

You can read about our Privacy, Terms and Conditions here.

ePermits can be purchased online using a Paypal account, or credit/debit card. We don't have access to your card or payment information.
