River Tummel.

A few salmon fishing opportunities exist on the Tummel above Loch Faskally and there is excellent trout and pike fishing to be had. The River Tummel drains an extensive system of rivers and lochs and provides top class fishing opportunities for game and coarse anglers. It emerges at the east end of Loch Tummel, to flow towards Loch Faskally and Pitlochry. This is a beautiful stretch of river that has some very interesting wild trout fishing.

River Ericht.

To the east of the area we cover, the Ericht has good runs of salmon and grilse. This is small river salmon fishing at its best. The Ericht also maintains a very good trout population.

We specialise in the upper Tay - from Kenmore Bridge to Ballinluig here the famous river Tay is a medium sized river with many beats with excellent salmon and trout fishing. Salmon fishing is easily available at most times. Good grayling.

River Gaur.
Catch:- Wild Brown, Ferrox Trout, Pike and Perch.

An Attractive 2 mile strech of river flowing East from Loch Eaigheach towards Loch Rannoch.

It produces some fantastic trout throughout  the season either from the fly or spinner.

And – the River Spey – a little further away, but closer than you think - and a great day out
Catch - salmon, trout. Pike, sea trout

The famous River Spey runs for over 100 miles from source to sea. It is the fastest flowing river in Europe and falls 1100 feet over it's course. It is perfectly suited to fly fishing for salmon. Fish can be taken anywhere along it's course but the serious fishing begins as the river reaches Aviemore. Not only does the main river offer a great variety of fishing but a number of tributaries, in particular the Rivers Avon and Dulnain, are excellent salmon rivers in their own right.
