Salmon Fishing in Scotland River Garry
|
O.S. Map 34
The character of the River
Garry, and its fishing, was greatly altered by the impoundment of
its waters, in the nineteen fifties, for the production of hydro
electricity. Prior to this, the Garry was one of Scotland’s best
spring salmon fisheries, renowned for its large spring salmon,
averaging about 18 pounds, which were in the river from opening day
on January 15th till the end of April.

Please note that these maps may date back several decades.
Much of the human detail will have changed but the character of the rivers and
lochs, and the trout and salmon in them, will be much the same as they have
always been.
In addition to the information provided
here, I would recommend that anyone planning a fishing or
walking trip in Scotland should equip themselves with a compass
and the appropriate Ordnance Survey map. The most useful of the
O.S. maps for the fisherman is the Landranger series, scale
1:50,000. For each of the lochs and rivers listed here, I have given the
relevant O.S. Map number. See Ordnance
Survey Maps |
Salmon Fishing on the River Garry
Although salmon can be taken from
the loch and upper river, most of the salmon fishing on the Garry is now
done on the three and a half miles of the lower river, from which around
100 salmon can now be expected in a season. The fishing on the river, for
six rods, is normally by weekly let but day permits may be available.
