The Dundonnell River is a small spate river in Wester Ross, Scotland, characterized by fast-flowing water over rocky substrates typical of Highland streams. This is primarily a salmon and sea trout fishery, best fished during autumn and winter spates when water levels rise sufficiently for fish to run upstream. Access is generally good with a mix of public and private beats; anglers should check locally for permit requirements and seasonal restrictions.
