About River Glass

The River Glass is a productive mixed fishery flowing through the Scottish Highlands, offering excellent opportunities for both coarse and game fish in relatively unspoilt surroundings. The river's character varies from fast-flowing rocky sections ideal for salmon and trout to slower pools that hold quality chub, dace and grayling. Access is generally good with riparian access available in many sections, though anglers should check local permits and seek permission from landowners before fishing.

River Glass observes the standard close season: 15 March – 15 June (rivers, England & Wales). Always check local byelaws before your visit. No rod licence is needed in Scotland, but permission or a permit from the estate, club or riparian owner is usually required.
