This beautiful river has built a solid reputation for its fine catches of salmon, sea trout and brown trout which have delivered years of pleasure for the region’s anglers and visitors from many parts of the UK and overseas.

     Inverness Angling Club is fortunate to have the rod fishings for some three miles of water from the estuary to the Clachnahagaig Stone at the top of the Red Braes. The lower beats, in the centre of the city, are dominated by the picturesque Inverness Castle [pop up picture] from which Flora Macdonald’s statue gazes west to the Isle of Skye.

Fishing permits for visitors are available on a daily or weekly basis. More details can be found on the permits page or specific questions can be submitted and answered at the I.A.C. forum.

     When seeking permits to fish the club waters of the River Ness, anglers who have recently fished in affected areas must produce a valid Veterinary/Fish Health Authority certificate from the country of origin confirming that all their equipment, including any clothing that could have been in contact with any species of fish, has been sterilised.
A PERMIT WILL NOT BE ISSUED WITHOUT THE PRODUCTION OF SUCH A CERTIFICATE.
