Inverness is ideally positioned for exploring a variety of fishing opportunities across the Scottish Highlands.

At You Fish Scotland, our guided fishing experiences are adapted to the individual angler, whether you are learning the basics or developing advanced fishing skills.
Guided Fly Fishing for Atlantic Salmon in Inverness
Atlantic salmon fishing is one of Scotland’s most recognised angling traditions.
For many visiting anglers, the opportunity to fish for a wild Atlantic salmon in a Scottish river is a lifelong ambition.
Our guided salmon fishing experiences introduce anglers to the techniques and knowledge required to approach salmon fishing, including:
- Single-handed fly fishing
- Double-handed fly fishing
- Spey casting
- River reading
- Fly selection
- Fly presentation
- Understanding river levels and conditions
Salmon fishing requires patience, preparation and an understanding of changing river conditions. Although catching a salmon cannot be guaranteed, professional guidance can help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to approach the fishing responsibly.
You Fish Scotland provides guided salmon fishing and professional Spey casting instruction in the Scottish Highlands.
Our approach is suitable for both beginners and experienced anglers who want to improve their technique.
Wild Brown Trout Fishing in the Scottish Highlands
For anglers seeking beautiful scenery, natural surroundings and the challenge of wild fish, wild brown trout fishing in the Highlands offers a rewarding experience.
Wild brown trout inhabit many Scottish rivers and lochs, with fishing methods varying according to the water, season, and weather conditions.
Depending on the fishing location, techniques may include:
- Dry fly fishing
- Nymph fishing
- Wet fly fishing
- River fishing
- Loch fishing
- Dry-dropper techniques
A guided trout fishing day is about more than simply casting a fly.
It is an opportunity to learn how to read the water, understand trout behaviour, identify feeding opportunities and improve your fly presentation.
At You Fish Scotland, we welcome anglers of different experience levels and adapt instruction to their individual needs.
Sea Trout Fishing and Night Fishing
Sea trout fishing offers a different experience from daytime trout fishing.
During suitable periods of the season, anglers can explore the challenges of targeting sea trout in Scottish rivers, including evening and night fishing opportunities.
Night fishing requires preparation, an understanding of the fishing environment, and careful attention to safety.
With appropriate guidance, anglers can learn about:
- Sea trout behaviour
- Fishing at dusk and during darkness
- Fly selection
- Casting techniques
- River safety
- Responsible fish handling
Sea trout fishing is dependent on local regulations, access, river conditions and seasonal availability.
We can help you understand the available fishing options when planning your trip.

A guided fishing trip is not simply about arriving at a river and casting a fly.
It is about understanding the environment, adapting to the conditions, and developing the skills needed to fish effectively.
A professional guide can help you understand:
The water: Where fish may hold and how river conditions influence their behaviour.
The technique: Which casting and fishing methods may be appropriate for the situation.
The equipment: How rods, lines, leaders and flies work together.
The safety: How to approach wading, casting and fishing responsibly.
