Salmon Fishing in Scotland River Gruinard
|
O.S. Map 19
The Gruinard River flows from
the four mile long Loch Na Sealga to enter the sea in Gruinard Bay,
Wester Ross.
The Gruinard produces around a hundred salmon in a season and some
sea trout, with the sea trout numbers greatly reduced in recent
years. The fishing is let privately and is unlikely to be available.

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 Little Gruinard
The Little Gruinard River flows from the north end of
the Fionn Loch and flows four and a half miles to Gruinard Bay, picking
up speed as it goes, with small pools between fast rocky runs along most
of its length. This small spate stream can produce up to 100 salmon in a
good season, dependent on conditions.
The river is let with self catering accommodation and
fishing for five rods at a cost of around £1500 per week. Enquiries
should be directed to Letterewe Estate, Achnasheen.
