The River Cannich is a scenic highland stream in Inverness-shire that flows through the Strathglass valley, offering a mix of fast-running pools and rocky sections typical of northern Scottish rivers. The river holds good populations of wild brown trout and sea trout, with excellent sport available to those willing to work the pools and runs, particularly during spring and autumn spates. Access is generally available through local fishing associations and estate permissions; most beats are controlled by the Strathglass Fisheries Trust, and permits should be arranged in advance.
