Salmon Fishing - River Thurso Scotland

O. S. Map 12

The upper section of the river, above Loch More, provides extensive and valuable spawning grounds for the Thurso salmon. It is, however, on the main section of the river, from Loch More to it outflow at Thurso, that the fishing interest is focussed.

This lower section is divided into 13 beats, excluding the private beat known as Lord Thurso's beat, which he keeps for himself, friends and special visitors. Beat one is used by the Thurso Angling Club. The other twelve beats have been fished in rotation by guests staying at the Ulbster Arms Hotel in Kalkirk. There are likely to be significant changes to the management and access to the salmon fishing on the Thurso, which I understand has been offered as a ninety nine year lease to private investors.

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.
