This is a guide to the fishing available in the Scottish Borders. The information is presented in the form of a table, giving locations, contact information and details of permits required. Contents include: Fishing in the Scottish borders; The Tweed river system; Availability and costs of angling; Fishing seasons and best times; Fishing methods and tackle - a few tips for the visitor; Fishing for the disabled; Angling and the law in Scotland; The freshwater and salmon fisheries (Scotland) Act 1976; Game and coarse fishing waters available to the public - Rivers, stillwaters; Accomodation; Hotel waters; Hotel and bed and breakfast accommodation; Self catering accommodation with fishing; Angling Association waters; Tackle shops holding permits; Sea angling. The date of the edition is not given, but 1980 is mentioned in the text as 'last year'. The price is given on the front cover as 30p. The phrase, "It is hoped to review this guide annually", leads me to believe this is a first edition.
