About River Meig

The River Meig is a small Highland spate river in Ross and Cromarty, characterized by fast-flowing water with rocky pools and runs typical of northern Scottish streams. The river offers good opportunities for sea trout and brown trout fishing, particularly after rain when water levels rise, though catches can be variable depending on seasonal conditions. Access is generally available through local landowner permissions and association beats, with most fishing concentrated in the lower and middle sections.

Anglers should note the close season on River Meig: 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.
