The stunning Halladale River which enters the Atlantic at Melvich on the North coast of Scotland is a productive salmon fishery with an impressive five year average catch of 759 salmon and grilse. It’s a typical small spate river which fishes well after rain.

The fishable river is about 15 miles in length and flows through beautiful wilderness scenery into the Pentland Firth. It comprises 6 beats and over 50 named pools.

Fishing is commonly let with one, or a combination, of three comfortably appointed cottages. Accommodation is also sometimes available at the magnificent Bighouse Lodge. There is excellent loch fishing for wild brown trout, a fine local 18 hole golf course and stunning sandy beaches for those who want to engage in other activities.

Bookings are usually made in November for the following season but it is always worth checking availability for cancellations.
