About River Beauly

The River Beauly is a relatively short but productive spate river in the Scottish Highlands, known for its fast-flowing rocky character and excellent salmon and sea trout runs, particularly during autumn and winter. The river offers a genuine wilderness fishing experience with good access to upper beats and productive pools, though conditions are highly weather-dependent and require careful timing around water levels. Most of the river is under private management with beat fishing available through local hotels and estates, so advance arrangement and permits are essential.

Anglers should note the close season on River Beauly: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Access on most stretches is via club membership, an estate beat or a local permit — Scotland has no general rod-licence requirement.
