Salmon Fishing River Ness

Salmon and trout fishing River Ness

The River Ness is only 6 miles long and offers superb salmon fishing during spring, Sumer and autumn.

Interestingly, all of the salmon migrating to the Rivers Moriston, Oich and Garry, have to pass through the Ness. In fact, the Ness is the gateway to a huge catchment area, and displaces around 11,000 cubic feet per second.

Firstly, the river starts at Dochfour weir, and flows for 6 miles, eventually flowing through Inverness town centre.

Secondly, tackle choice is a personal preference, although 14ft double hand Spey rods work best.  Floating lines are the popular choice through spring and summer. If the water is higher, or it’s colder, it pays to carry a variety of sinking polyleaders.

Finally, it is possible to spin cast, but this is decided by the ghillie and subject to higher water levels. In addition, the ghillie can use the boat to access part so the river that are difficult to wade to.

The wading is easy going on the Ness and your guide will keep you in the right places to cover fish.

As well as being a great salmon river, the Ness holds a good population of wild trout. Many of these fish drop down from Loch Ness and grown big by feeding on the abundant fly life, small fish, and smolts.

The River Ness operates a strict catch and release policy.

To conclude, your fishing guide can collect you in Inverness. Moreover, we will have all the fishing tackle, waders, boots and other equipment you need. Reassuringly, it’s all of the highest quality.
