About Us

Bowden is run by Jim and Jacqui Gargaro, along with Mattie, Jet and Morgan, Sweep and an assorted band of cats and interested parties including yours truly.

Jim and Jacqui took on the fishery in 2004, and in 2006 were voted one of the top three fisheries in Scotland by readers of Trout Fisherman, sponsors of the popular Troutmaster Competition.

In addition to improving bankside facilities and removing some of the more intrusive vegetation, they have established a deserved reputation for the qaulity of the Bowden fishing experience.
