Find a local trout fishery and give them a ring. Tell them your circumstances and in most cases they will give you a load of help.

Information on licensing, tackle and tactics. They'll lend you some kit and advise you on what to buy.

Your local fishing club will also do the same if your into coarse fishing. HTH. Cheers, D.

as dytkos said yur local trout fishery can sort you out. although i wouldent start salmon fishing straight off as it can be very hard and frustrating. they for evry 1000 casts you do you might get a salmon if your lucky. but then it depends on wether your river gets a very large run of salmon every year like the tweed and the spey or, like my river. it has a run of say 300 fish at the most.
