About River Pattack

The River Pattack is a small but productive Highland stream in Inverness-shire, Scotland, flowing through moorland and woodland with a mix of fast runs and deeper pools. This is primarily a salmonid fishery offering good opportunities for brown trout and Atlantic salmon during their respective seasons, with the river being particularly valued for its wild fish populations. Access is generally available through local riparian ownership and fishing clubs, though permits are required; water levels can be high in winter and low in summer, so spring and autumn are optimal fishing periods.

Anglers should note the close season on River Pattack: 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.
