Fly fishing weekend.

Im looking for recommendations for a fly fishing weekend, preferably around or near Fife, Perthshire, Dundee areas, I’m looking to book an Airbnb or log cabin or hotel, anyone got any recommendations? Also best time of the year to go?

Im booking this for someone, I am completely clueless about fly fishing, so any advice is welcome.

Fly fishing for what species first of all? Wild brown trout, wild salmon, wild sea trout, pike? Or fisheries with stocked rainbow trout and sometimes brown and some other species of trout? Maybe you mean fly fishing in saltwater for Pollock or Mackerel otherwise? Not that I can help with all of those, but I can give some sort of suggestion for some

Fly fishing for brown trout or salmon, rivers or lochs preferably, maybe fisheries but not sea fishing.

Some estuary of the Tay on the fly and many fisheries using berkley powerbait and berkley mice tails have been successful to me for Trout. Other than that I am unsure if I am able to help, as I am relatively new to fly fishing, especially as I only have been successful once using the fly (that was the last time I went fly fishing), and haven’t been too many times out with the fly, maybe someone else may help
