The River Larig is a short, modest Scottish highland stream characterized by fast-flowing water over rocky substrates, typical of upland burn systems. It offers intimate fly-fishing opportunities in a scenic setting, though its diminutive size limits catches to smaller fish. The river is best fished during spate conditions when water levels rise.
