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.

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.

The maps on this website have been
reproduced with the permission of Collins Bartholomew.
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 |
