Why Inverness for Fly Fishing?
The Gateway to the Scottish Highlands
Inverness provides an excellent base for anglers visiting Scotland.
The city is surrounded by rivers, lochs, streams and Highland waters, while famous Scottish fishing destinations are accessible for carefully planned day trips.
The area provides opportunities to experience:
Atlantic salmon • Wild brown trout • Sea trout • Saltwater fly fishing
Beyond the fishing itself, visitors can experience the landscapes, wildlife, history and culture of the Scottish Highlands.
That combination makes a guided fishing trip an opportunity to experience much more than simply a day beside a river.
Start Planning Your Scottish Fly Fishing Experience
Whether you want to catch your first Atlantic salmon, explore Scotland’s wild brown trout fishing, experience sea trout fishing at night, improve your Spey casting or simply spend a day exploring the Highlands with a professional guide, You Fish Scotland can tailor an experience around you.
Professional guiding. Qualified instruction. Quality equipment. Local knowledge. Scottish fly fishing.

It's my favourite time of year. Autumn. The morning chorus of overhead passing geese, cold, dry mornings, and watching the salmon jumping along the river.
