Salmon Fishing in Scotland
River Naver
|
O.S. Map 10
The River Naver flows the
eighteen miles from Loch Naver to enter the sea at Bettyhill.
It is one of the most productive, and exclusive, of Scotland’s
salmon rivers, rivalling the Helmsdale for numbers of fish. This
will mean little to most of us, though, as the Naver also rivals the
Helmsdale in its exclusivity. It is a very private river. The lower
beat, however, is reserved for the local angling club and a limited
number of daily permits are available to visitors.

Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing on the River Naver
The fishing for both salmon and sea trout can
be excellent on the lower association beat of the River Naver.
Fishing can also be had on Loch Naver and on the Rivers Mudale
and Mallart. Spring salmon can be caught on the loch, mainly by
trolling, with the peak of the season in April. Enquiries should
be directed to the Altnaharra hotel, who also own the fishing on
the River Mudale, above Loch Naver.
Angling Clubs and Associations
Permits to fish the Association water on the River
Naver can be purchased, on a first-come-first-served basis at The Store,
Bettyhill, at a cost of around £20.

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 |
