Fishing Tours from Inverness
Private driver-guide experiences to Highland lochs and rivers. Bespoke fishing days with calm pacing and local knowledge.
Why Fish in the Scottish Highlands
The Scottish Highlands offer some of the finest freshwater and wild fishing in the British Isles. From famous salmon rivers to quiet hill lochs and intimate beats, the region draws anglers who want scenery, solitude and the chance to cast in waters that have defined the sport for generations. A fishing tour from Inverness puts you within reach of the Spey, the Ness, the Conon and countless smaller waters, as well as lochs where brown trout and wild fish still set the pace.
What makes a Highland fishing day special is the same thing that defines our private tours: dedicated attention, local knowledge and the flexibility to adapt to conditions and your preferences. Whether you are an experienced angler planning a focused fishing trip or a group mixing fishing with sightseeing, we design the day around you. We do not run shared fishing coaches or fixed itineraries; every outing is private and tailored.
Our Fishing Tours from Inverness
Our fishing tours are built on the same foundation as our other private experiences: a luxury vehicle, a professional Highland driver-guide, and door-to-door collection from your Inverness accommodation or agreed meeting point. We take care of the driving and logistics so you can focus on the fishing and the landscape. Routes are planned around your chosen waters, the season and access arrangements. We can incorporate a single beat or loch for a full day, or combine a morning on the water with a relaxed afternoon of scenic touring.
Many of our fishing guests also book our broader private tours from Inverness for non-fishing days, or use our chauffeur service for transfers to and from beats, lodges and estates. We work with a network of contacts across the Highlands and can advise on permits, seasons and availability when you enquire.
What's Included
Every fishing tour from Inverness includes a dedicated driver-guide and a luxury Mercedes vehicle for the day. We handle all driving, route planning and timing so you can concentrate on the fishing. Collection and return are from your chosen address in Inverness or the surrounding area. Bottled water and comfort stops are included. Fishing permits, beat fees, ghillie services and tackle are arranged separately according to your plans; we can advise on what to book and how to organise access. If you are combining fishing with a multi-day stay, we can also arrange airport transfers and inter-day transport so the whole trip runs smoothly.
Popular Highland Fishing Areas
The River Spey is one of the world's most famous salmon rivers and lies within comfortable day-trip range of Inverness. The Ness, the Conon, the Beauly and the Findhorn also offer superb salmon and sea trout fishing in season. For trout anglers, the Highlands are dotted with lochs and lochans, from well-known fisheries to remote waters where you may have the place to yourself. We can tailor a tour to a specific river or loch, or design a route that takes in several options so you can make the most of conditions on the day.
Access and availability vary by season and by beat. We recommend discussing your dates and preferences when you get in touch so we can suggest the best options and any advance booking you may need. Our role is to get you there in comfort, on time and with local insight that adds to the day.
Planning, Seasons and Licences
Scottish freshwater fishing is seasonal and often subject to local rules and permits. Salmon and sea trout seasons vary by river; trout fishing on lochs may be available for longer periods. A valid rod licence and any beat or fishery permit are the angler's responsibility, but we can point you to the right authorities and help you plan. Booking well in advance is advisable for popular beats, especially in the peak salmon months.
When you enquire, tell us your preferred dates, whether you have already secured fishing access, and how you would like the day to run. We will propose a route and timings that fit your plans and suggest options if you still need to arrange permits or beats.
